Give the Gift of Theatre today and help Wild Rice share the magic of theatre with those who might not otherwise be able to experience a show live. These include underprivileged children and youths, students and the elderly, as well as people living with disabilities and their caregivers.<\/p>

Every dollar raised under this scheme will help us improve access to our venue and our productions \u2013 from providing free and\/or subsidised tickets to offering performances designed to accommodate patrons with different requirements.<\/p>

We kickstarted this initiative in 2013, and have since welcomed over 4,500 beneficiaries to our shows \u2013 working with partner organisations like ARC Children’s Centre, Children’s Cancer Foundation, Beyond Social Services, Down Syndrome Association, Singapore Council of Women’s Organisations and more.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\"Guide Dogs Singapore (GDS) would like to warmly thank Wild Rice for extending complimentary tickets to our visually impaired (VI) clients, enabling them to enjoy audio-descriptive performances. It has been a genuine pleasure working with Raj, who was always ready and willing to assist with coordination. On behalf of GDS and our clients, we extend a heartfelt thank you to Wild Rice for their unwavering support and for championing an inclusive environment for our VI community.\"\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\u201cWatching theatre can be a stressful experience for many special needs families, as folks with added needs might enjoy the performance in their own ways, like making sounds and movements. Loved the effort by the performers to interact with the audience and the general humour of the work. The puns, in particular, were gold!\u201d\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\"I feel happy and gratified that Wild Rice is enabling people from all segments of society to enjoy their productions\u2026 The usher team was friendly and took good care of us. They constantly alerted us of any obstacles so that we would not miss a step or bump into things. The touch tour gave a good introduction on what to expect during the performance\u2026 I thought I would not have a great time with my visual impairment, but I was wrong. I look forward to catching more interesting shows from Wild Rice!\"\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\u201cI have been a theatre fan since I was a young child, but have had few opportunities to attend such performances in the past due to inaccessibility and the lack of disability inclusion in the local arts scene. Much credit must go to Wild Rice for working towards theatre inclusion. Their heart and work in enabling people with disabilities to cultivate a taste for the arts is especially extraordinary because Wild Rice is a not-for-profit theatre company.\u201d\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\"I was very happy to receive the complimentary tickets from Wild Rice. This is a great community outreach initiative to benefit the visually impaired community... Where we were seated, there was ample space for Leilah, my guide dog, to sit comfortably... So nice to go to a performance and not to have to worry about access with a guide dog. I look forward to more theatre companies, concert venues, cinemas, performance venues etc. taking this lead from Wild Rice. Thank you and keep up the brilliant work!\"\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t
