Synopsis
Inside every adolescent brain, a storm rages. 86 billion neurons connect and collide to produce the most frustrating, chaotic, and exhilarating change that will happen to a human body!
Brainstorm, directed by Samantha Scott-Blackhall, is an original script by Ned Glasier, Emily Lim and Company Three. It’s a unique theatrical investigation into how teenagers’ brains work, and why they behave the way they do. Inspired by the work of neuroscientist Professor Sarah-Jayne Blakemore and adapted by Cheyenne Alexandria Phillips, this play draws upon the real-life personal experiences of Singapore’s 13- to 17-year-olds. It is a tumultuous teenage diary of likes and hates, a tapestry of dreams, memes, fears, voices, emojis, school-things, parent-things and life-things.
“…a very cunningly put together piece, drawing with unflinching honesty on material excavated from the young people’s own lives…and capturing the hormonal rush and wild mood swings of teenage existence. …the real beauty of this memorable show is that it’s not just all about them—it’s definitely about us too.” —The Guardian (UK)
Whether 15 or 50, Brainstorm will make you laugh, cry, and appreciate the beautiful chaos that makes you uniquely you.

Scaredy Kat Presents
21 May - 31 May 2026
Panic attacks have crippled Kathryn since childhood. Desperate to overcome them, she focuses on her favourite thing in life: making movies. But her stop-motion figurines keep falling apart — just like her confidence. New schoolmate Nadia might be the key to making her movie work, if only Kathryn can muster up the courage to make a friend.
From the producers of 12 Going On 13 and Third Man Syndrome, Scaredy Kat Presents is a youth theatre production in Singapore exploring panic attacks and friendship that blends live performance, puppetry and animation to deliver a big-hearted story about taking risks, making art and learning to fly.
Early bird sales starts on 1 April 2026.
