Abner Goh

Abner Goh is a Malaysian theatre artist and filmmaker drawn to stories that wrestle with the complexity of the human psyche. His journey began in 2017 with CPAC’s Alice’s Wonderland, and since then, he has worked across acting, directing, and production, always in search of something honest.

As president of Taylor’s Society of Performing Arts (2022) and Taylor’s Filmmaking Club (2025), Abner initiated The Theatre Project and TFM’s Filmmaking Initiative, platforms for original student works. He went on to direct and perform in the musical A Serve and A Swing (2023), and served as stage manager for Theatresauce’s KAKUREGA during that same year.

In 2024, he founded Star-eyed Collective, an independent arts collective focused on emotionally resonant storytelling. That same year, he directed We’ll Be Fine, a devised play exploring fractured friendship and growing up, under the collective’s banner.

His past acting works include Happy Days: A New Musical (2018), CPAC’s Dames and Dimes (2019), Popup Theatre’s Sherlock Holmes in the Missing Script (2019), Purple Disc Production’s Made in Subang (2024), SPART’s Prophecy of Blood (2024), EJKLSSeni’s Sometimes We Find Comfort in Lonely Spaces (2024), Monday Show Entertainment’s Next to Normal (2024), and Studio 52’s You Are My Rock (2024).

In 2025, Abner will direct two short films he has written. We Were Something is an intimate drama about grief and repression. Us or You and Me is a romantic drama about holding on to love when it no longer fits.

Abner’s work often returns to the same questions: What do we run from? What do we ache for? And what does it mean to be seen by someone, even for a moment? He creates to understand, and hopes his stories leave space for others to feel understood too.
