Drama Box’s community presence in 2005 led to The Straits Times Life! featuring
a cover story on our Community Tours and its positive impact.
"…These are very real struggles that our elderly faces, feeling useless and a sense of attachment for their business over the years. The younger generation cannot feel it but after watching it, it helps us to empathise that there are another human being that deserves our respect and honour, and for us to see that there are good individual who can contribute. And the fact that this show can be put up is a proof to the characters themselves that things can be change in itself…"
