Headed by the Biñan Youth Performance Council (YPC), Mapanakit features three distinct plays, all written by Eljay Castro Deldoc and directed by BJ Borja. The production pairs seasoned actors Ross Pesigan, Gab Pangilinan, Kokoy De Santos, and Phi Palmos with YPC members Jury Sanchez, Euden Moje, and Loudette Barias — creating a collaboration between established performers and emerging young talents. Ang iilan sa kanila ay kayang makipagsabayan, ngunit ang iba ay kailangan pan

You enter the theater expecting lively song-and-dance production numbers, and the show lives up to that expectation. The entire cast is truly having fun on stage, making the performances even more enjoyable to watch. The story is easy to follow, though its execution could be more polished and creative. Gloria Estefan’s journey, from her discovery to stardom, lacks the needed progression to make it more compelling. You’re never quite sure how famous she has become until the sh

Ang Babae Sa Septic Tank 4 (Theater Play 2026) Director: Maribel Legarda Playwright: Chris Martinez First time ever magrelease ng official rating para sa isang theater play dahil pagkatapos itong mapanood, imposibleng hindi ka magbigay-pugay. Deserve nito ang pinaka-mataas na recognition na abot hanggang West Philippine Sea. Totoo yung pamagat. Hindi siya exagge. Mapapa- 𝗢𝗛 𝗦𝗛!𝗧 𝗜𝗧’𝗦 𝗟𝗜𝗩𝗘 𝗦𝗔 𝗖𝗛𝗘𝗧𝗘𝗥! ka talaga. Ang saya mabuhay kung may ganitong klaseng p

Nakaka-wow yung set design. May buhangin talaga sa gitna. Tapos may reveal sa bandang dulo, kung saan mas lalo ka pang mamamangha sa kanilang entablado. Masarap sa mata ang mga karatula. Nagamit nang husto ang mga ilaw at ang mga tunog upang palawakin ang imahinasyon. Mula sa amoy ng balahibo hanggang sa lamig ng coke, naibabahagi nila ito. Kuhang kuha ni Benedix Ramos ang pagiging makulit at inosente ng isang bata. Pansin na iniiba ni Sheena Belarmino ang kanyang boses at ki

DOUBLE TAKE 2026 is a twin bill offering from the Artist Playground and Kho-Lab Productions. It features two plays, namely “AL•TER” (written by Jaoquin Pablo) and “REVERSE CARD” (written by Chase Kyle Loza). Both are directed by Paul Jake Paule. There are many variations and alternates with the casts. This particular review covers the following: CJ Tiongson as Al John Ven Soco as Ter Drei Arias as John Inah Evans as Marvin While both plays tackle gay experiences, they stand a

Dalawang magkaibang palabas ang mapapanood mo rito sa MIRANDA at YOLANDA. Magkasalungat ang kanilang atake. May kanya-kanya silang charm. Sobrang serious at gloomy ng first show. Samantalang wild at funny nung second show. Ana Abad Santos is so classy and stunning. Frances Makil-Ignacio is truly seen. Umaapaw ang stage presence ni Joshua Cabiladas . Kahit malayo ka sa kanya, umaabot sa’yo ang hininga niya. Nakakalungkot manirahan sa kanilang tahanan. Mayaman sila, ngunit an

When they say it’s a psychological thriller, they really mean it. Sorry for the word, but it FUCKS with your mind and your preconceived notions about AI. Intelligence may be artificial, yet it can feel more natural than humans. AI has no feelings—but why does it sound like it has so many suppressed ones? It’s just one of the many questions you’ll find yourself asking as the play unfolds. In fact, there will be more questions than answers. While that may sound relentless, it k

Casting female leads to portray Mabini is a brave and wise choice, since gender is not the focus but the brain. Nonetheless, it ultimately adds little to the overall impact. Even though Mabini is the lead, Aguinaldo always steals the spotlight. David Ezra has a powerful voice, enough to fill the venue. Despite his character’s questionable choices, his performance is undeniably worth cheering for. The title “ Mabining Mandirigma ” is not suitable. Mabini’s ideologies aren’

Kapag sa Newport Performing Arts Theater ginanap ang isang musical, usually bongga ang mga props dahil malawak ang kanilang venue. Ngunit dito sa Bagets , alanganin ang prod design. Karamihan ay mukhang pinaglumaan na at parang bibigay na. Bihirang makatulong ang LED background visuals. Makulay ngunit halo-halong tingnan ang costume design. Madalas, hindi na napapansin kung sino ang mga bida. Hindi sila umaangat kapag marami ng tao sa stage. Ang mga ilaw ay hindi masyadong

There’s a new venue in town—The Black Box at the Proscenium Theater—and its inaugural show is 𝘚𝘱𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘈𝘸𝘢𝘬𝘦𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨. The blocking and seating arrangement need improvement. The stage is oriented toward the center, but there are also chairs placed along the sides. As a result, people seated in these areas are often limited to seeing only the back or side profiles of the actors. Viewing experience is compromised. Key actions and moments from the cast members can be par

Designed for the entire family, this musical brings together performers of all ages. The moment you hear the sweet voices of children singing, Christmas spirit instantly fills the air. They all look so cute and adorable. You can’t help but smile and cheer for them. Seasoned artists remain composed and fully in character, even as they navigate multiple role changes. Regardless of age, nobody is exempted from the nonstop fun dancing. No one is allowed to play stiff and just sta

The play runs for roughly an hour, and Thou Reyes didn’t waste any second in showcasing his skills. Naglalakad pa lang siya papasok ng entablado, nakuha na niya agad ang atensyon ng mga tao. Sa pagtapak pa lang ng kanyang mga paa, may presensya na kaagad siyang naibibigay. Kahit hindi pa siya nagsasalita, andami ng sinasabi ng kanyang mukha . Mula ngiwi hanggang ngiti, nakikita mo ang mga pagbabago . Magkamali man siya sa mga linya, hindi mo yun iindahin. Mas mapapasin mo k

This marks the third run of Bar Boys musical, but it’s the first time it’s being staged on a big venue. From 300 seats to 800 seats, this major upgrade serves as a testament of how successful the musical is based on their previous run. Before, the intimate space allows you to feel the scenes because you’re inches closer to the actors. Seeing their faces and reactions can enhance the theater experience. Now, the larger staging tends to put the spotlight on grander props and mo

As the lead star, Christine Allado has the vocal stamina that meets the primary demands of the show. From the first performance till the last, her belts remain consistent and reliable. There’s no excitement if she’ll hit the high notes or not, because you know she can do it. Nonetheless, her delivery of lines is smooth and captivating. As the bodyguard, Matt Blaker looks the part but lacks presence and charisma to bring the necessary thrill and romance to the scenes. Tim Yap’
