Frankie at the ExxonMobil-South West CDC Transport Bursary Presentation 2011


Frankie had the privilege to perform at the ExxonMobil-South West CDC Transport Bursary Presentation 2011 on 23 March. This is a bursary programme for students from needy families in the South West CDC district. It was a privilege and a blessing to be able to perform for the 300 bursary recipients and teachers, as well as staff members from Southwest CDC and ExxonMobil Singapore.

Frankie also had a chance to demonstrate some of his puppets up-close with Guest-of-Honour and South West CDC Mayor, Dr. Amy Khor, as well as Mr Derk Hartgerink, Manufacturing Director of ExxonMobil Singapore Chemical Plant.

We wish all students and recipients from the ExxonMobil-South West CDC Transport Bursary Presentation 2011 all the best in their studies!

Synopsis

From the creators of Chestnuts, H is for Hantu is a musical comedy for the whole family, with an exhilarating mixture of spooks, madcap comedy, ingenious puppets and infectious music, woven together to entertain young and old alike!
Singapore’s last existing kampung is about to be wiped out to make way for development, but not all the residents are willing to give up without a fight! Catch feisty Sazali and his supernatural sidekicks – the sultry diva Pontianak and the light-headed but very gutsyHantu Penanggalan – as they hatch a plan to convince the government to spare their kampung, but instead find themselves caught up in a chilling haunting that scares even these sassy spooks!

H is for Hantu boldly takes the interactive family fun of the panto and the sassiness of the musical comedy; adds the visual magic of puppetry and the irresistible fascination of our local supernatural folklore, and weaves them into a heartwarmingly Singaporean story of nostalgia vs newness, and friendships that endure separation and defy all barriers.
