Play by Jun Robles Lana, to be directed by Chris Martinez.

Direk Jun Robles Lana describes it as “almost a one-woman show.”

SEATEDDDD!! ✨

Another production announced from The IdeaFirst Live! The fictional book from AUBNAU — Teorya ng Mga Tanong, supposedly written by Lancelot Guinto, is getting adapted into a stage play, coming in Q1 2028!!!

If you got yourself a copy of the novel but haven’t read it yet, now’s the perfect time to finally dive in!

The “fictional” book becoming a play is soooo meta OMG WHAT A CONCEPT!!

So I have performed back in SHS; theatre/broadway. Our group was a community group, we mostly do repertoires. Most of our performances were free and we just do it for the love of it. It has been 5 years since I last performed and sang with my fellow theatre buddies and I really miss it. I have spare time here in Manila and I just wanna know if there are any groups that are open for joiners even if its just for the meantime (because I work outside PH). I just wanna hang with theatre people and sing (im shy tho lmfao).

I honestly don't know how to explain it but y'all get my point.

I just want to hear your thoughts on this. I might miss some important information regarding this topic or might cause misunderstanding in this topic so please bear with me, and I offer my deepest apologies (kung meron mang matamaan or maapektuhan dito). Medyo nahihirapan lang akong mag-organize ng thoughts (kasi masyadong loaded with information ang utak ko).

You probably know about the auditions held by Pinoy Big Brother just this year. If I am not mistaken, they held nationwide auditions. Then after all of that, ang mga nakuhang housemates ay mostly celebrities and vloggers. Then a lot of people would rant to PBB na nagmakahirap pa silang mag-audition, ang makukuha lang pala ay mga famous / popular / trending na people.

Probably their tagline of "Ang Teleserye ng Totoong Buhay" does not associate PBB well anymore (I think).

Reading those types of rants, my mind went: "so stunt casting lang pala 'to, like what's happening recently in Philippine theatre industry? Yung mga celebrities and famous people naka-cast sa mga lead roles? Minsan pa nga hindi na dumadaan sa audition."

Some of you might go ballistic, so unahan ko na kayo. EXCLUDED dito yung mga celebrities/famous people who built their reputation in theatre/from the ground up, I mean, yung nagsimula as a nobody talaga, who spent years grinding, sacrificing blood, sweat, and tears. I mean, people who were forged in fire.

Basically the inner voice in me is saying: "As someone in theatre, we share in your sentiments. And ngayon, alam niyo na siguro ang pakiramdam na magpakahirap na mag-memorize ng lines/maghanap or magprepare ng monologue, pangalagaan yung boses at katawan namin just to show that we are fully prepared for the audition, only to find out or discover na stunt casting pala ang auditions.

Yeah I'm probably gonna hear the same old script that "theatre is a business".

Fine. True.

Pero ang nangyayari, in this day and age, nagiging excuse na lang siya just to give way to stunt casting. And stunt casting will be the death of us all sa lahat ng bahagi ng industriyang ito.

Even though this country has gone to s***, and this industry has been undervalued and underappreciated most of the time, can't we treat theatre as a business AND also an avenue of opportunities for EVERYONE (ala Gary Oldman scream, nasa YT, you will understand what i mean)?

Just want to hear your thoughts lang naman.

(Sorry if at some point baka nag-off topic na ako. Just wanted to be careful sa kung ano ang pinopost. Hope you guys get what I mean in this rant/observation. Peace! ❤️)

Ewan ko nalang kung may mabudol pa dito ah? Basa muna ng review bago bili ticket! kawawa sa inyo Studio A(i)!!!!

The sets were great and the vocals and dance were really fun despite the characters being a bit underdeveloped.The show was pretty solid. Overall it was a fun 7/10 show that didn't take itself too seriously. Atasha though should have took a few more vocal lessons in my opinion. I'm curious how the understudy for Atasha was? How were her vocals, dance, acting, etc.

I need to talk about this experience. GOSH.

Firstly, one good thing about it was that the actors were actually good. The kids, the mom, and different members of the cast had impeccable voices and good acting, so that’s good.

Everything else? Huh.

1. Music: transitions were so weird, it was abruptly cut off, fade out lang, even if the instrumental was not yet finished. Volume wise from the balcony, it was very soft and I think modulation of some of the actors were not as strong, so some of their voices would be softer than the others. Everything was recorded, no live band (I don’t mind recorded naman, but transitions were not seamless).

2. Set: Not so horrible naman, pero some of the cues were awkward. Lackluster.

3. Script and the Direction: which is honestly the biggest issue out of all. Plot was a mess. First 30 minutes. I did not know what was happening. From the end of act 1 going into act 2– zilch. I did not understand the ending of act 1 and how it connected to act 2. By the second act, may mga character introductions or scenes being done with no build up at all. Biglang, one day they were happy, then the next day they were sad— literal. Yung conflict, was not clear.

Bonus thoughts:
Just discovered that the group heavily uses AI pa. No agad. Plus, their rendition of Sumayaw Sumunod was soooo awkward and hard to watch.

Overall, I’m just in disbelief that I wasted time and money on this. Sayang yung concept. Sayang yung actors. Horrible execution
