The Critically Acclaimed wee Question Mark Series Returns!
, ? ! If you were a punctuation mark, what would you be?
Submerge yourself in the wonderful world of The wee Question Mark and the Adventurer, and join inquisitive Question Mark, peace-making Comma and excitable Exclamation Mark for a tale of nautical nonsense and musical mischief.
Once upon a time, there was a young girl called Mai Mai. Helped by an old sea captain, Mai Mai sets off on an epic adventure to Treasure Island in search of her long-lost father. Wait, how does Mai Mai know where to go? Where exactly is Treasure Island? Will Question Mark’s curiosity ruin the story??
★ Winner of Best Production for the Young, The Straits Times’ Life! Theatre Awards 2016 ★
“A joyful work that tackles difficult questions and doesn’t shy away from depicting failure. The young audiences were riveted by Question Mark and Mai Mai’s persistence in overcoming their challenges, while the high levels of audience interaction really enriched the experience!”
— Lan Zhu (Theatre Reviewer)
Bringing together director Kuo Jian Hong, playwright Huang Suhuai, composer Julian Wong and Mandopop lyricist Xiaohan, The wee Question Mark and the Adventurer combines wacky storytelling, original music and participatory theatre with the series’ signature light touch. Get ready for a musical adventure unlike any other!

About The Theatre Practice
The Theatre Practice (Practice) is Singapore’s longest-standing professional bilingual theatre institution. Artist-driven and deeply progressive, Practice strives to be an arts space in Singapore that consciously nurtures and empowers people who care about humanity. Over the past 59 years, we have developed and presented a vast, critically-acclaimed, multi-genre repertoire that reflects the complexities of Singapore’s diverse cultures.
Practice today is a cultural force. As a bridge between cultures, we have brought practitioners of diverse backgrounds together for exchange, and provided platforms for international works. As pioneers in Arts Education in Singapore, we have nurtured leaders in the Singapore arts scene, and inculcated a love for the arts in generations of youths.
Under current Artistic Director Kuo Jian Hong, Practice continues to shape our cultural landscape as the definitive voice in Singapore theatre. Deeply influenced by the importance of play in art-making, Practice has become the embodiment of the irrepressible spirit and fearless experimentation of play under her leadership.
Artistically diverse and constantly relevant, Practice will always engage in the ceaseless exploration of new frontiers.
The Theatre Practice is supported by the National Arts Council under the Major Company Scheme for the period of April 2023 to March 2026. Practice is also an Institution of Public Character and a recipient of MCCY's Charity Transparency Award 2023.
