Three Gen Zs: two Singaporeans, one American. Zero chance of survival.
In a remote northeastern corner of the United States, by the shoreline of the majestic Lake Michigan, at the mouth of the grand Kalamazoo River, lies the legendary promised land called Singapore. Unfortunately, it now exists only as a ghost town. Founded in 1836 as a port to rival the likes of Chicago, it survived leadership power struggles, financial scandals, and the 40-day Blizzard of 1842, to become a thriving trade hub with a population of seven hundred.
And then, tragedy struck, and by 1875, Singapore was no more… Fast forward to 2025. Enter a pair of “real” Singaporeans and their American friend – three friends on a mission to find the mythical place that was Singapore, Michigan. On their adventure, history repeats itself, as they too find themselves trapped in a blizzard, facing life-or-death questions: will they survive the cold? Will they survive one another? Will they survive without Indomie?... Well, at least it’ll give them lots to TikTok about. And as they freeze, fight, and freak out, sordid secrets are spilled, shocking surprises are sprung, and they soon discover that they are actually searching for answers to life’s conundrums – passion vs practicality, dreams vs duty, and what it means to be “Singaporean” in the 21st century.
In this world premiere of Singapore, Michigan, playwright Ong Chong An has crafted a fiery and fiercely funny story, excavating issues that will resonate with all of us who call Singapore home. Truly.
Singapore, Michigan was commissioned by Pangdemonium under our New Works Lab playwriting mentorship programme, led by our Associate Director Timothy Koh.
