Cake
Singapore's more dynamic and contemporary theatre groups produce both edgy and more accessible works at various venues around town. They often struggle for audiences and funds, but their undoubted passion keeps them alive. Banners advertising shows are usually plastered around town, or check listings in local magazines and newspapers. Cake is a cutting-edge improvisational group.

Wild Rice
Possibly Singapore’s most accomplished theatre group, due in no small part to the talents of artistic director Ivan Heng. Wild Rice’s productions range from farce to serious politics and fearlessly wade into issues not commonly on the agenda in Singapore.
