LOOK OF THE DAY: VINTAGE

These are pictures from CYRANO: ISANG SARSWELA pictorial.

I am going to play Roxanne, the love interest of Cyrano and Christian.

The play tackles unrequited love, lost love through ideals, and the glorious past that we have forgotten.

Please listen to the video from youtube that I have posted below. We also included one of our songs, "IKAW". I was singing the aria in the song! :)

Hope you guys can watch. :)

Anyway, here are my most favorite pictures. :)

How I wish I lived during the 20's and 40's :)

DULAANG ROC- UAP PRESENTS: CYRANO: ISANG SARSWELA

"Ikaw"

Written by William Elvin Manzano

Arrangement by Happy Days Ahead;

Violin by Keifer Cabugao

Performed by Nicco Manalo & Martha Sta. Barbara

***

Dulaang ROC and TALINHAGA Theatre Collaborative transform Edmond Rostand's "Cyrano de Bergerac" into a new sarsuwela!

CYRANO is about a young man's bravery, love for country, unflinching virtues and the power of love. Now set in the Philippines, specifically in the 1940s, the play employs Filipino themes, conditions and history. From innocence, it traverses the turbulent years of war, to a time of change and forgotten memories.

CYRANO is definitely a play of laughter, tears and panache!

DULAANG UP AND UP PLAYWRIGHT'S THEATRE PRESENTS: DEAD STARS, 1925/ SEPANG LOCA

Celebrating the centennial of Department of English and Comparative Literature and the 50th anniversary of the Department of Speech Communications and Theatre Arts, UP Playwrights' Theater (UPPT) on its 21st theatre season (2009 – 2010) proudly presents a stellar twin-bill offering: an adaptation of Paz Marquez Benitez’s celebrated Philippine short story in English, “Dead Stars” (1925) as adapted by Anton Juan, and “Sepang Loca,” Amelia Lapeňa Bonifacio’s landmark theatre piece. After his successful Hinabing Pakpak ng Ating mga Anak, last July 2008, Anton returns with his dramatic adaptation of the short story, Dead Stars, 1925 – acknowledged as the first Filipino modern short story written in English. The play centers on hypothetical love in a colonial state, collapses time and point of view in impressionist dramatic narrative. Paz Marquez Benitez, author of this celebrated short story was the mentor of many Filipino literary masters and national artists. In Sepang Loca, from the depths of a village well rises the cruelty of a village and the damnation of a village fool by its religious but self-righteous folk.  The cast are joined by some of Philippine Theatre's renowned theater actors like Teroy Guzman, Ana Abad Santos, Judy Ick, Earl Ignacio, Edna Mae Landicho, Fonz Deza, Ces Aldaba, Lexie Schulze, Lillibeth Nacion- Puyot and the Dulaang UP ensemble. Joining Juan in his artistic team are emergent artists like Patrick Valera, (Dramaturgy and Assistant Direction) and Meliton Roxas Jr. (Set and Lights Design). Dead Stars and Sepang Loca will open on July 21, 2009 and will run until August 1, 2009. Dead Stars and Sepang Loca will run at the 130 seater Teatro Hermogenes Ylagan, 1st Floor, Faculty Center, University of the Philippines, Diliman, Quezon City. Weekday shows at 7 p.m.; weekend shows at 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. Tickets at Php 250.00 but special group and student discounts may be availed of.
