Education
The Pangdemonium-CityNeon NextGen Education Programme is our community
outreach initiative created to do just that. With this very practical as well as instructive series of specialised workshops and master classes in various theatre disciplines, we aim to reach out to the community, fuel the creative instincts of young minds, cultivate the passion for the art of story-telling on stage, and share hands-on experience in the craft of theatre making.
In 2014, we launched our inaugural Triple Threats Musical Theatre Workshop and Showcase, mentored by US-trained actor and professional Musical Theatre teacher Caleb Goh, and Musical Director Joanne Ho. The workshop was a roaring success and we have been holding it annually ever since.
In 2017, we launched Write Here, Write Now, our Playwriting Mentorship programme, where we selected a promising applicant for a prestigious, year-long, one-on-one mentorship with Stephanie Street to write a full length play.
In 2018, we formally consolidated all internships and apprenticeships under the umbrella of the Apprenticeship Programme.
We believe these programmes create a legacy of future generations of theatre professionals, sowing seeds for a more vibrant and progressive theatre industry, and paving the way towards a greater love of the arts among our community.

Triple Threats Musical Theatre Workshop

Our Triple Threats alumni have gone on to programmes in LASALLE and made their professional debut in shows like Fun Home and The Great Wall Musical.
