We seek to collaborate with artists in an exploratory environment where risks can be freely taken within and with the creative process. The Orange Playground provides opportunities for free, ad-hoc collaborative "jamming" and play with new emerging and existing talents, without the pressures of a production as a culmination point.To find out more about past labs, please visit tnsarchives.com.About The Necessary Stage (Singapore)Formed in 1987 by our Artistic Director Alvin Tan, The Necessary Stage (TNS) is a non-profit theatre company with charity status.
