The Heart Behind the
Bangkok Theatre Project

The Heart Behind the
Bangkok Theatre Project

Bangkok Theatre Project (BTP) began with a moment of pure wonder. As big fans of the book, I took my daughter to see "The Tiger Who Came to Tea" at the Theatre Royal Haymarket in London.

To be honest, we had no idea what a children's theatre performance would actually entail, but from the moment the lights dimmed, we were both completely captivated from start to finish. It was her very first live show, and seeing a story we loved so much come to life on stage opened our imaginations in a way we never expected. Watching her eyes widen with joy, I realized that theatre was the "magic key" to a world where anything is possible.

A Meeting of Minds

A Meeting of Minds

As an early years educator and an excited mom, I returned to Thailand with a vision to bring that same international standard of storytelling home. I dreamed of sourcing world-class children's theatre and musicals from across the globe so that families here could experience the very best.

At the same time, Alex, the founder of Curtain Up Studios, was already a leading force in Bangkok’s drama scene. With over 14 years of experience, she had spent over a decade building one of the city's most established drama schools and bringing the joy of the stage to children across the country.

When our paths finally crossed, we realized we were two halves of the same mission. We didn't just want to "put on a show"; we wanted to create a platform where global productions could inspire deep emotional and academic growth. Together, we co-founded the Bangkok Theatre Project - a true partnership of equals that merges our shared vision for children’s theatre with our combined expertise in early education and the theatrical arts.

Our Shared Philosophy

Our Shared Philosophy

Together, we believe that drama education and live theatre offer children a "magic key" of their own. It is a healthy, screen-free escape where their creativity can flourish. When a child steps into a character's shoes, they aren't just playing—they are building empathy and learning to understand the feelings of others.

We see firsthand how the stage builds a unique and lasting confidence. Whether they are performing or engaging from the audience, children learn to find their own voice, overcome hesitation, and stand tall in their own identity. Through our curated international productions, we work side-by-side to ensure every child finds the self-assurance to speak clearly, the discipline to focus, and the resilience to solve problems. From boosting literacy and critical thinking to fostering teamwork and self-esteem, we see theatre as a safe, collaborative space where children don't just learn about the world—they learn who they are within it.
