PEER PLEASURE is a celebration of youth theatre. It seeks to fill a gap in the current landscape by providing a platform for young amateur theatre makers aged 13-18 in Singapore to stage productions under the guidance of professional theatre practitioners, and at professional theatre venues.
These creative collaborations enable the youth to engage with their peers and with issues that concern them, culminating in works that communicate their worlds to a wider audience. Alongside performances from young artists, there will be a series of engagement programmes related to drama, theatre-making and the issues presented in the festival. Cultural Medallion recipient Alvin Tan, will be the artistic director of the festival for the first three years.
