For The Theatre Practice (TTP), Liao Zhai Rocks! is nothing short of a … Continue reading Strange Tales From A Theatre Studio: An Interview with Kuo Jian Hong, Joanna Dong and Sugie Phua of The Theatre Practice’s Liao Zhai Rocks!

Suddenly, she recalls: … Continue reading Always Every Time: An Interview with Ground Z-0 Artistic Director Zelda Tatiana Ng
