"I joined the residency programme because it provided an opportunity for me to train on the job, and learn from working with professionals on a daily basis. SRT’s programme also allows me to work with a wide variety of productions, be it for TLC, TYC, or Mainstage; or even restagings, new productions, or commissioned works.
What I hope to walk away with is a better sense of the industry, a big network of contacts in the industry, a sizeable portfolio of works I have assisted directed, and a wider creative palette for directing."
- Eric Larrea, Resident Assistant Director, July 2023
"I decided to join the residency firstly because I enjoy earn & learn programmes, and I enjoy learning new things and honing new skills. I've always adored theatre, acting and the community within. Marketing has also always been my forte, and so this residency provides me the best of both worlds basically!
What I do hope after these 2 years, is to have made some sort of impact to the company and the community. The Access programmes that we have is something that I am looking forward to learning more about. When I was in poly, we put together sensory shows for children with autism, and those shows are definitely core memories for me. Apart from that, I also hope to be able to be a fresh voice through our marketing platforms."
- Raiessha Noa, Arts Marketing Resident, February 2024
"What I would like to walk away from this programme is to be more confident in what I do, which is production management/coordination, and also cause I'm still a fresh graduate, I do hope to also have made enough connections to help me network through the industry."
- Lynn Chuang, Resident Production Coordinator, February 2024
