PETA Gears Up For Its 41st Theater Season
The Philippine Educational Theater Association presents 5 exciting new
plays in its 41st Theater Season.
Opening the season in July, Soxie Topacio directs Nic Tiongson's NOLI
AT FILI DEKADA 2000 (DOS MIL). The play is set in a small town in the
Quezon province where the small town politics and social mores become
the backdrop of Rizal's novels. Performances are slated for July 18
to August 24, 2008, Fridays to Sundays at 10am and 3pm.
TOSCA (August 29 and 30, at 2:30pm and 7:30pm) is an adaptation of
Puccini's classic opera piece. PETA sets its interpretation during
the Japanese occupation and Tosca becomes the battle ground of
Japanese Imperialism, patriotic love and selfish greed.
Christine Bellen's MGA KUWENTO NI LOLA BASYANG and BATANG RIZAL are
back to back presentations of the Children's Theater productions for
September to October. Lola Basyang features three of Severino Reyes'
folktales: Ang Prinsipeng Mahaba ang Ilong, Ang Binibining Tumalo sa
Mahal na Hari and Ang Prinsipeng Duwag, tackling the mythical journeys
into self discovery and value formation. Batang Rizal revisits the
notions of heroism and love of country from the point of view of a
child. Shows will be on September 19 to October 12, 2008, Fridays to
Sundays at 10am and 3pm.
SAAN BA TAYO IHAHATID NG DISYEMBRE? is the featured play from November
14 to December 7, with Friday performances at 2:30pm and 7:30pm, and
Saturday and Sunday performances at 10am and 3pm. The third of Tony
Perez's trilogy on friendship love and compassion, the play, directed
by Nonon Padilla is about the unbreakable love and bonding between
best friends and among family members, despite complications of
betrayal, jealousy and anger.
The season ends with ADAPTING THE EUROPEAN MASTERS in a pseudo
festival that will showcase an end to a ten month project that will
take at least forty of our artist be they writers, directors and
actors into the study of European playwrights. Shows from February 6
to March 15, 2009, on Fridays at 2:30pm and Saturdays and Sundays at
10am and 3pm.
