4 shows to check out at the new MES Theatre at Mediacorp

After opening its doors in December 2015, Mediacorp’s state-of-the-art, 1500-seat theatre at its new campus location in Mediapolis at one-north has hosted shows like Star Awards 2016 and the recent Pradhana Vizha, which recognises the best local Tamil talents in the television, radio and stage industry.

The very same theatre has a new name now – MES Theatre at Mediacorp, and this comes after a three-year naming rights agreement was inked last Friday with MES Group, which will see the integrated property and logistics solution company put its moniker and logo on the theatre. Set to be “a centre for entertainment, the performing arts, cultural and community activities, the theatre offers a great fit for branding MES Group, an active corporate citizen in Singapore,” said Jack Lim, Chief Commercial Officer, Mediacorp, at the signing ceremony.
