Scaredy Kat Presents is in its final weekend at Gateway Theatre’s Black Box, with the listing running from 21 to 31 May 2026. For families looking for a quieter theatre option, the show stands out because it uses puppetry and stop-motion animation to approach anxiety through story rather than lecture.
The premise follows Kathryn, a stop-motion filmmaker who experiences panic attacks, and her friendship with Nadia. That gives parents a way to open conversations about fear, friendship and coping without turning the outing into a heavy lesson.
Why It Works For Families
Gateway Theatre’s Black Box setting usually makes shows feel more intimate than a large auditorium. That can suit children who engage better when they can see expressions, puppets and small details up close.
The topic is also timely. Many families talk about confidence and resilience, but fewer know how to discuss anxiety in a way children can understand. A theatre piece gives the subject shape and distance, which can make the post-show conversation easier.
- Run: 21 to 31 May 2026.
- Venue: Gateway Theatre Black Box.
- Elements: puppetry, stop-motion animation and family storytelling.
Before You Go
Check the ticketing slot before travelling because this is a closing-weekend listing. Build in time for arrival at Bukit Merah, and avoid overscheduling younger children after the show if the story gives them questions to process.

- Best for: families who like smaller theatre spaces.
- Good follow-up: ask children which part of Kathryn’s story felt familiar.
