PLAYtime!, the innovative theatre experience for kids, returns to Esplanade in Singapore in 2026. Take part in active performances and let your imagination run free. Dive into a world of creativity, expression, performance, and fun. At the theatre, you can be anyone you want to be.
PLAYtime! is perfect for families with children aged 3 to 6 who enjoy non-traditional and fresh theatre experiences with vibrant sets, regulated music, and dynamic actors. Audience members are encouraged to join in the fun rather than just sitting in the audience and watching. PLAYtime! shows are inclusive, welcoming everyone, including individuals with sensory sensitivities. Audience members can also freely enter and exit the theatre space.
Featuring easy-to-understand and child-centric shows exploring themes such as fear and friendship, PLAYtime! returns to Esplanade’s stage with three new shows for 2026: Burp, Together, and The Amazing Sarong. By closing the gap between the audience and the stage through interactive and engaging performances, PLAYtime! becomes an unforgettable experience for families looking for something different.
Details for PLAYtime! 2026 in Singapore:
Some wonderful shows are coming up in 2026 for toddlers. They also offer sensory-friendly versions of the show.
1. A relaxed performance makes a relaxed child (and parent)
2. The action is all around! - The action starts as soon as you walk in the door!
3. Up close and personal - PLAYtime! Productions are staged at the smaller venues in Esplanade, and the house is capped at 200 people, so there is ample space for everyone.
4. Sensitive lighting and no harsh sounds - perfect for young ones.
5. Content tailor-made for the young
6. Short and sweet - they are little ones after all!
7. Extending the experience beyond - Every child who attends a PLAYtime! performance receives an activity sheet that complements what they have just watched.
