Review: Postcards from Rosa
A witty and moving script from Des Sim. An eye-catching and tight production from director Christopher Ling. And a heart-warming and moving performance from Marina Tan. Postcards from Rosa is a hit!

It consists of a dozen or so songs, from upbeat to gospel to ballad, which highlight different aspects of life.…

Review: Charles Dickens presents A Christmas Carol
As I mentioned in my last post, I was off to see actor Phil Zachariah portray Charles Dickens in a faithful portrayal of the intimate readings that Dickens gave in his lifetime. Bottom Line: Highly recommended! Zachariah was not only convincing as Dickens, he transformed the empty, black-box stage into a visual wonderland featuring the…
