NUS Stage

We are an English Drama and Theatre group from the National University of Singapore!

Originally formed in October 2006, the university wide English language drama group, then named Varsity Drama became a member of NUS Centre For the Arts in 2008 and was renamed as NUS Stage. Under the mentorship of Checkpoint Theatre’s Artistic Directors Claire Wong and Huzir Sulaiman from 2008 to 2013, the group has won acclaim with script-driven works such as Life! Theatre Award nominated play F

aith Ng’s (wo)men, Shiv Tandan’s The Good, the Bad and the Sholay and the collaborative piece City Night Songs. The group also staged Shifting Sands at the ExxonMobil Campus Concerts 2011 and Playout: A Double Bill at NUS Arts Festival 2014. In 2014/2015, NUS Stage focused its interest on building stronger foundations for a closer-knit community of theatre practitioners within NUS. Facilitated by leading Singapore theatre practitioners, Stage Two was a platform where members of NUS Stage were given the opportunity to train on a regular basis and attend workshops and classes with a long term view of developing a unique voice in Singapore theatre. We are currently being trained by renowned theatre practitioner Edith Podesta. She has directed us in "The Golden Record" in 2017 and we have also put up smaller productions at various NUS events.

Character isn’t just something we build on stage, it stays with us long after the curtains close. ❤️‍🔥🌺

For Abigail, theatre has been a lesson in trust, vulnerability, and discovering that becoming someone else doesn’t mean losing yourself. Sometimes, the people around you see something in you long before you do. ❣️
