SRT caters to different audience segments, ensuring that a variety of performances are available with each season showcasing eight to ten plays and musicals.

Forbidden City: Portrait of An Empress is one of the most iconic and successful original musicals staged by SRT in 2002 at the Esplanade - Theatres on the Bay as part of its opening festival. It was restaged in 2003, 2006 and is slated for another restaging in 2017. Other original musicals by SRT include A Twist of Fate (1998).

SRT was the first to stage some of the most critically acclaimed Broadway musicals in Singapore, such as RENT (2001) and Avenue Q (2008). Past productions also include The Pillowman (2007, 2008), God of Carnage (2012) and Venus in Fur (2013).

SRT produced The LKY Musical (2015) for Metropolitan Productions, which won the ST Life! Theatre Awards Production of the Year (Readers’ Choice).

SRT has been presenting Shakespeare in the Park as part of its theatre tradition for close to two decades at Fort Canning Park. The first staging was in 1997 with Hamlet. Shakespeare in the Park subsequently became a biennial event from 2007 with A Midsummer Night’s Dream, and has been an annual affair since 2011. In 2016, Romeo and Juliet was the ninth Shakespeare in the Park production, which attracted close to 30,000 attendees.
