Back at Kidsfest this year watching yet another wonderful production by ABA Productions - The Gruffalo's Child. By now, this is a much anticipated yearly affair by the family. Tip for families, although there are re-runs, most are new. We usually avoid re-runs. Our first choice is always stories that the children are familiar with as it brings these stories we read daily alive. Otherwise, we will pick a production, find the book and read it through with the children before the actual day.
As re-runs don't always happen, go for the production when you see it. Don't wait for next year because once you miss it, you might really miss it forever. For children theater production, ABA Productions is my favorite because they tend not to incorporate singlish to it and there is more budget allocated to wardrobe and props.
For us and the children, this is a yearly highlight. The children always leave with fond memories. For those who know, the 2 of them have been growing up, watching theater productions since they were 2 years old. So, it is true that appreciation for art forms can start young. :P They are pretty much seasoned theater goers by now and can sit through the production with little fear of the dark.
Only from 30 January to 22 February 2026, be sure to book your tickets here!
