Technical Manager Allister Towndrow has a rather unusual shopping list—pinecones, ping pong balls and galvanised pipes—his postman must be scratching his head with every delivery. But that’s all normal for the technical manager of set and props, as he prepares to build the set and props for children’s show Tiger Tale and Playful Tiger by Barrowland Ballet, a production travelling all the way from the UK to Singapore for March On 2026.

It’s his first time working on a show designed for neurodivergent audiences, where children will be interacting closely with both the set and performers, so there are a lot of things to consider! Find out how Allister ensures the set is both safe and accessible for all.
