Appeared as ‘Hotshots in the melting pot’ (Time Out Singapore Aug 2009)Could Singapore’s ever evolving theatre scene produce a household name? Laura Dozier scouts for bright talents among The Young Co. as it gears up for The Crucible (12-15 Aug)
Some words were mentioned of Nikko, and Nikko hope you will come support the show.
"Members of the company are selected from open auditions held annually, and the SRT name draws in hordes of hopeful thespians. Only 20 are selected in a process that most admit is nerve-wracking. Nikko Aw, a student in her second year of the programme, remembers her excitement upon being accepted: ‘I was really happy when I got in. I was thinking: Oh my god, I’m in SRT!’
As their two years in The Young Co. come to a close, the three students who have nabbed the lead roles in the production – Aw (Abigail Williams), Rishi Budhrani (John Proctor) and Olivia Rummel (Elizabeth Proctor) – make plans for the future. The three are making varying levels of commitment to acting, but for all three, the stage figures in their gameplan. Aw heads off to Switzerland next year to study hospitality, steered away from studying theatre by parents who know how challenging it can be to make a living as an actor, but she still hopes to get involved in the local scene when she returns to Singapore.
For Aw, Budhrani and Rummel, the opportunity offered by The Young Co. could provide them with a future that’s bright indeed."
