The Teenage Textbook

Adapted from the popular local novel of the same name, The Teenage Textbook will take you on a journey through some of life's greatest moment during puberty and adolescence.

The life and death of a pimple, the gut-wrenching, heart-rending experience of trying to make a phone call to your "crushee", the jerks, the jocks, the babes, the nerds. The Teenage Textbook is a universal directory that will guide you through the torrid tunnels of teenage trials and tribulations.

Owned by all students regardless of age, language, religion or faculty, it will bring true, lasting, more-permanent-than-Revlon-Colourstay-lipstick love to you if you follow its rules. Or will it?

Standing Tall

Standing Tall revolves around the experiences of three school friends, Marcus, Vijay and Li Lian. It focuses on the struggles of adolescents in dealing with peer pressure and societal expectations in the search for personal identity.

Ultimately, it is  self-esteem, respect for their own and others' choices and the ability to exercise a degree of mental toughness which makes them stand tall.

Ging-Gang-Goo

After sixty sold-out performances in 1995, Ging-Gang-Goo is back! Directed by Mr Kok Heng Leun, our Resident Director, this play focuses on a current concern: teenage street-corner gangs.

Bullying exists everywhere, but what can a victim do and why does one resort to bullying others. This play is about gangs and bullies, in schools and neighbourhoods - what motivates members to join them and why?

As before, each performance will conclude with a talk by a counsellor from the Volunteer Welfare Organizations under the umbrella of National Council of Social Service.
