15 Days to the 28th SEA Games 2015!
We are left with 15 days to the 28th SEA Games 2015! Singapore has waited 22 years to host the Games once again! After performing in the opening ceremony of the first-ever Youth Olympic Games (YOG) in 2010, Martial House is proud to be involved in the opening ceremony of yet another major sporting event, the 28th SEA Games 2015! To prepare for such a massive performance, rehearsals are inevitable. Sometimes, rehearsals could take up to 14 long hours! Kudos to the Martial House Stars for their time, effort and commitment! It is really not easy to make such sacrifices especially when most of the performers had competitions and examinations to juggle with. The Martial House Stars will be performing for Act 2 of the Opening Ceremony. Do particularly look out for Koh Hao Xuan & Austin Chong Sze Ze who have been chosen to be lead performers for the act! One of them will also be performing a breath-taking stunt so do look forward to the performance! Among the other leads, one of them happens to be the son of renowned local actor and director, Jack Neo! “What an honour for Hao Xuan & Austin to perform on the same stage as my idol’s son!” exclaimed Hao Xuan’s happy and proud mother after meeting her idol. The Opening Ceremony of the 28th SEA Games 2015 will be held on 5 June 2015, Friday. Do remember to catch the performance of the Martial House Stars!

Congratulations to the Casts & Crews of “Legends of the Southern Arch”!
Martial House would like to congratulate The Theatre Practice for successfully concluding its 302nd production, “Legends of the Southern Arch”! The last show was held on 12 April 2015, Sunday at the Drama Centre Theatre @ National Library Building. The production was definitely entertaining as it was filled with humour, emotions and not forgetting actions which were choreographed by Martial House Choreographer & Artistic Consultant, Gordon Choy. For those who have been involved in National Day Parades and Chingays with Martial House over the years, you would find Gordon familiar. Martial House would also like to thank The Theatre Production for the opportunity to be involved in this production. Martial House Stars, Yap Wen Ren and Koh Jing Sen were part of the casts and they have impressed many with their action-packed movements and comedy in the opening scene! When asked about his acting experience, Wei Ren replied, “It is a bittersweet feeling now that the production is over. Bitter because I will miss the people there. They have taught me a lot and I have gained so much from them. On the other hand, I am also glad that the production is over as I can finally catch up with my sleep! Being an actor is not easy especially when you have shows every day and some days you have two! Really have to respect all the actors for their passion and perseverance!” After “Monkey Goes West”, “Legends of the Southern Arch” was the next production which involved talents from Martial House. Hopefully, we will get to see more Martial House Stars in the theatre scene!
