All Aboard
Party animals, prepare – there’s a mega music festival on the horizon. Next month,
music fans can set sail with It’s the Ship, a five-day, four-night international
music festival at sea – the first-ever in Asia. Embarking from Singapore, Royal
Caribbean’s Voyager of the Seas cruise-liner will cross the straits of Malacca to
tropical Langkawi for a beach party of epic proportions, featuring performances
by international and regional headliners including hip hop artist, Lil’ Jon, and indie
and electro-pop acts like Crookers, Chvrches, Rave Republic and Alex Metric,
among others. More fun includes on-board rock-climbing, ice-skating and a dip in
one of the ship’s 10 pools. For reservations and details, visit

FOR KIDS
Stick Around for This One
Stick Man is a quirky tale with a title character who is first
mistaken for just an ordinary stick, then taken far away
and used for all sorts of things, from a flag mast to a
cricket bat, and from a snowman’s arm to firewood (well,
almost!). Eventually, a very lost Stick Man wonders if he’ll
ever make it back to his wife and children in the family
tree. Passing through all of the seasons and culminating
in a Christmas celebration, this touching and witty
production, complete with live music and instruments,
is sure to delight both kids – especially aged three and
above – and their grownups, no matter the season. See
it from 9 to 12 October at SOTA Drama Theatre, 1 Zubir
Said Drive. Tickets from Sistic. aba-productions.com
