What I Need to Know

Theater is the major art form that brings together all the other art forms—from
painting and sculpture to installation art, to music, to dance, to literature,
even to computer arts—in a single production. A story is acted out on stage
(or other performance area) by actors portraying the characters, bringing
them to life and developing the plot through dialogue and actions, and
sometimes through song and/or dance.
The Philippines has a rich and thriving theater industry that you may be
interested to venture into in the future. Productions range from original plays
with Philippine themes and settings to renowned theater classics from past
centuries to contemporary musicals from Broadway or London’s West End.
In this module we will have an overview of some of the more prominent
theater and performing groups in the country and their major productions
(Cabanban 2015).

 What’s New

The Philippines has a rich and thriving theater industry that you may be interested to
venture into in the future. Productions range from original plays with Philippine
themes and settings, to renowned theater classics from past centuries to
contemporary musicals from Broadway or London’s West End. Below is an overview
of some of the more prominent theater and performing groups in the country and
their major productions (Cabanban 2015).

What is It

Philippine Theater and Performing Groups

PETA and Tanghalang Pilipino
In the past few decades, modern theater groups have continued to express the
distinctly Philippine interpretation of both originally written plays as well as
adaptations of foreign works translated into Filipino.

NegOr_Q4_MAPEH10_Module4a_v2

 At the forefront of these are the Philippine Educational Theater Association
(PETA ), 2013)
(Chuaunsufounded in 1967 by
Cecile Guidote-Alvarez,
and Tanghalang Pilipino,
the resident theater
company of the Cultural
Center of the Philippines,
founded in 1987’ (Cabanban
2015). The productions of
Pamana these groups
PETA, 2013 span the range

from daring new presentations of

classical works, to the spectacle of
Philippine myths and legends, to
commentaries on current social and
political issues.

Ibalong
Tanghalang Pilipino, 2012

(BAUTISTA2013)

Meanwhile, other Philippine theater groups are also staging original and adapted
plays and musical productions, primarily in English. Best known among these are
Repertory Philippines, Trumpets, and New Voice Company. More recently, Theater
Down South has been added to their roster. And championing the cause of the more
classical form of musical performances is the Philippine Opera Company.
Repertory Philippines
In 1967, theater director Zenaida Amador fulfilled her dream of bringing the best of
Broadway and London’s West End to Filipino audiences. Together with actress Baby
Barredo, Amador established Repertory Philippines, a company that not only
staged English-language plays and musicals year-round but trained actors and
actresses as well. The company continues with this vision to this day.
Multi-awarded theater actress and singer, Lea Salonga, in fact, began her career as
a child lead in productions of Repertory Philippines. From there, she went on to
become an international stage superstar in the lead role of Kim in Miss Saigon—
putting the Philippines on the world map in terms of theater talent.

Also, among Repertory’s many notable achievements was the 1993 staging of
the international hit musical Les Miserables in Manila with an all-Filipino cast and
production team.
In its 2009 season, Repertory added a Filipino classic in English to its
productions—A Portrait of the Artist as Filipino, by National Artist Nick Joaquin. To
date, it continues to offer a mix of productions ranging from literary classics to
contemporary satires, comedies, and musicals.

Trumpets
In the 1990s, the Philippine
theater group Trumpets also began
mounting grand productions of originally
written musicals with a slant towards
good values for children and the whole
family. Among their plays have been
Joseph the Dreamer; First Name; The
Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe; Little
Mermaid; Honk; N.O.A.H.; and The
Bluebird of Happiness. The intention of
Trumpets is to provide
wholesome theater
experiences for Filipino youth while also (Lifestyle.INQ 2014))
building up the Philippine theater-going public.Triumphant People's Evangelistic
Theater Society (Trumpets) was founded by Audie Gemora.

New Voice Company

Also making its own distinct contribution to the Philippine theater scene is New
Voice Company, established in 1994 by Monique Wilson—also a Repertory
Philippines’ protégée who went on to star on the international stage. New Voice has
earned a reputation for staging thought-provoking productions on daring and deep
topics.

Philippine Opera Company
The Philippine Opera Company (POC) was
founded in 1999 by a group of dedicated
classically trained singers, led by soprano Karla
Gutierrez as artistic directress. The POC seeks
to develop performers as well as audiences for
classical music performances, both foreign and
Filipino.

 Theater Down South
In 2007, Theater Down South was
founded, with Philippine theater mainstay
Michael Williams as artistic director. The
vision of the company is to widen the
reach of stage productions beyond the
traditional centers within Metro Manila,
and therefore develop a broader audience

What I Can Do

Theater Script Writing:

▪ In this activity you are going to write your own script for a play that you
want to direct.
▪ Follow the format proposed below as your guide in writing your script. ▪
The script must be of influence by Filipino culture and tradition.

SCRIPT FORMAT EXAMPLE

There are several different ways that you can format a theatre script. The example
below is a standard formatting and one that we like. (Note that theater scripts and
film scripts are usually formatted in different ways.) If you have already written your
play and your formatting is different from this, do not panic. Formatting for the theater
is flexible up to a point. As long as there is a clear differentiation between stage
directions and dialogue, and the script is easy to read and carefully proofread, it may
well be acceptable. Do not forget to put your name and contact details on the cover
page

NegOr_Q4_MAPEH10_Module4a_v2
 7
ACT ONE
SCENE 1
Stage directions are usually given in italics. Some writers put them in UPPER CASE
ITALICS. OTHERS JUST PUT THEM IN UPPER CASE. The main idea is to
differentiate them clearly from the dialogue.

CHARACTER 1: Dialogue is written in sentence case. Character names are given in

upper case – again to differentiate them clearly from the spoken dialogue.

CHARACTER 2: It is a good idea to set a second-line tab so that dialogue always

begins on the same vertical line. This makes it clearer and easier for actors to read.

CHARACTER 1: Dialogue is usually double-spaced between each character’s

speech but single-spaced within a character’s speech. This again makes it easier for
the actors to differentiate between characters.

CHARACTER 2: Left align everything. Do not use right hand justification to the
document.

CHARACTER 1: Use a font like Times New Roman or Arial. Fonts like Courier New
and Arial Narrow are hard to read, and fancy fonts are just a nuisance. Remember
that this is a working document and must be easy for actors and directors to use.

Pause

CHARACTER 2: If you need to write in a pause, it should go in italics or upper case,

the same as other stage directions.

CHARACTER 1: (to herself) Brief stage directions that specifically apply to one
character can be put in the dialogue like this.

SCENE 2
It is a good idea to keep stage directions to a minimum. Directors and actors need
the space to put their own interpretations on what you have written. So, forget about
directions like ‘she picks up a glass of wine’ or ‘he smiles sadly’ unless it is integral to
the action of the play. They just annoy the director.

CHARACTER 3: Do not forget to paginate your script. It is also a good idea to put
the name of the script on each page as part of the header – in slightly smaller print
than the dialogue.

CHARACTER 1: Proofread your finished script carefully AFTER you print it out and
BEFORE you send it to us. Check spellings, punctuation, line spacings etc. Your play
does not have to be grammatically correct – and you might choose not to use

NegOr_Q4_MAPEH10_Module4a_v2
 6
standard punctuation – but it DOES need to be consistent. Poor proofreading
suggests a lack of professionalism.
