Nine Years Theatre is a Singapore Mandarin theatre company co-founded by Nelson Chia and Mia Chee. The company focuses on the re-imagination of classic work and the creation of new work. Our Mandarin productions (with surtitles) have attracted audiences from all language backgrounds with their consistency in quality and a cultural sensibility in translation and adaptation. We also collaborate with local and international arts groups in cross-cultural and cross-disciplinary work .
We believe in actor training, our works are therefore often being described as grounded in the actors' art. We are the only company in Singapore that works with an ensemble of actors that train regularly on a long-term basis via systematic methods. Furthermore, we also share these training methods and philosophy with the community through classes and open training platforms.
Nine Years Theatre Ltd. is a charity with IPC status.
