The Shape of Things by Neil Labute I acted as Evelyn in this piece for my classmates stage directing assignment. The experience was different. I stepped over a boundary of only allowing someone i cared for to touch me and i touch them. It was fun overall and of course, hard work!!
Here they are, the two final reviews I promised from July's bounty of theatre-going in England. First, the whole group went to see The Merchant of Venice in Stratford-on-Avon as done by the Royal Shakespeare Company. Since the Swan is being renovated, we were in the Courtyard Theatre, a venue I had...
With all the Fall Season Premieres starting, show us your favorite spot to watch them from. Now is the time of year when I need to look at adjusting/cancelling my Netflix account so it more accurately reflects my time to sit down at home and watch a movie. And stop subsidizing Cranky's account. I...
Glenn Close and Zeljko Ivanek won Emmys for Damages: Outstanding Actress and Outstanding Supporting Actor, Drama Series. Deservedly so! If you haven't yet seen this FANTASTIC series about lying, cheating, vicious, two-faced, nasty liars who are also lawyers... do so. And, by the way, get the entire...
I had a long day yesterday. Started my day with Mikee and MC and had lunch at Rai-Rai Ken - Harbour Square beside the Cultural Center of the Philippines, which I'm not sure if it's worth sharing. Anyway, we watched the first of Philippine Opera Company's line-up for its 2nd season, Mozart's The...
LOL So I auditioned for this play called "In the Blood" by Suzan-Lori Parks. It's an African American play. The lead actress is supposed to be played by an African American. I auditioned for a character called Welfare because it was the only non-specific racial role. I got callbacks, but didn't make...
More reviews from July theatre-going in London. PYGMALION by George Bernard Shaw (Old Vic Theatre). Peter Hall's leadership at the Theatre Royal Bath had been particularly fruitful in terms of comedy during the last year. First, he staged THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST by Wilde, which I did not see...
If you could dream about anything tonight, what would it be? Well, last night I dreamed I was crawling on my stomach over a hill so I could hide behind a tree and get a look at an enemy base. Another guy crawled up and asked "What the hell are you doing?" to which I replied "I'm tactical recon."...
In Paris, there are two major opera houses: the Opéra Garnier, which opened in 1875, and the Opéra Bastille, which opened in 1989. Yesterday I went to the Opéra Bastille to see the New York City Ballet perform. I was in the last row, in the second balcony, all the way up against the ceiling. I...
Today I thought I would follow yesterday's post on playwriting by talking a little more about both process and product. Since I teach I am always reminding students about process and trying to stimulate them into trying different ways to get an idea from nerve-blip-in-your-brain to a finished...
The Fringe festival is nearly over , so i thought i better go and get some fringe-ing in so i got some tickets to see Die Roten Punkte Super Musikant http://www.myspace.com/dierotenpunkte, i had read good reviews of it. it is a comedy rock concert , and even the things i had read on the web did not...
Yesterday, I emailed three short plays to a competition. This is more or less standard practice for me, but it was a special day in that one of these plays was brand new (written from an exercise given in a workshop I attended last summer) and one was more or less completely revised. The revision...
So lately I have been really busy with a certain senior project, we call it Rewind. I sang 2 different Regina Spektor songs on the spot today. My hair is still wet from my shower this morning at 6:30. I cannot wait to be finished casting Rewind so we can start rehearsals. Rewind is a revue of North...

Originally printed in 1919, this is one American ex-pat's view of her adopted country in the years prior...
A couple of years ago, I got to watch Once On This Island by Actor's Actors Inc., and since then I loved the musical. Yesterday, we watched an amateur performance of some student actors from the UP Manila, we're just not sure what department the students came from. But then, it's nice to watch and...
I went to see NAMCYA winner and my friend, Ferry Medina's junior recital today at the University of Santo Tomas Museum. Picked Jay up from his place and we met Jaja at their school. The show started when we arrived, but we missed just a few minutes of the wonderful recital. Its setting was nice but...
Ha ha, it's been so long since I last logged on I almost forgot how to do a post! Well where to begin! Since doing my streetdance exam in January which I passed with Honours 95% woohoo! (the most I've ever scored in any exam lol) I took part in a show at chertsey halls, where we (Encore Theatre...
Last night saw me in a rain drenched Stratford Circus in London attending my first ever Reduced Shakespeare Company performance. When I was first invited to attend I was really surprised, because I remember hearing about the RSC before ... about 10 or more years ago on some sort of channel 4 culture...
When I come to Paris, I do two pilgrimages. One is related to Joan of Arc, or as she is known here in France Jeanne d'Arc. The other is for Molière. These are purely personal and simply part of my repeated visit to this city. The Molière pilgrimage is more contained. It starts, always, outside the...
