plaza theatre...
I was chatting with spawnily just now, and he mentioned having regular dreams of a huge unknown theatre...
Was it a coincidence then, that I had just chanced upon something quite like that only a few days ago?
While I was at the Singapore Textile Centre for a casting call last week, I had some time on my hands, and decided to explore this rather old building...
After all, it wasn't very long ago when I was right there filming something. I'd thought at that time that this building has got plenty of character, and then some...
To my surprise, an aimless walk led to the discovery of a humongous but age-worn theatre right inside this old building, looking as if it had belonged to the 60s or 70s, perhaps even earlier...
Does anyone know of this place? Or even performed there or watched a show there? Or can supply more information about it?
A quick search on Google only revealed that this theatre is called...

If anything, this could be a great new place for the performing arts, especially after the renovation works are done...
Now if only it were more accessible...
