They say Filipinos are one of the most hopeless romantic people in the world- with the constant bittersweet comebacks to any love songs, movie lines, and even normal day to day conversations. Filipinos love Love and all that comes with this four letter word. And we are never afraid to say what we feel. Hashtag hugot. If you are looking for an avenue where you can express your emotions (hashtag feels), check out what Ateneo Blue Repertory has lined up for their upcoming 24th season premiere.
“Boy
meets girl and girl meets boy, this is how these stories go.”
Ready your hearts as Ateneo Blue Repertory
presents its 24th
Season Premiere, BREAKUPS & BREAKDOWNS, an original Filipino musical with
book and lyrics by Joel Trinidad and music by RonyFortich. It is a story of an unexpected (re)meeting of four
people that leads to hilarity and a gratuitous amount of awkward moments, as
well as finding love, and losing it.
Mark, portrayed by Alex Masucol, is a young
playwright about to put the finishing touches on his play about finding the One
Perfect Girl. The play is a thinly-veiled retelling of his failed
relationshipwith Nina, portrayed by alternates Celine Bengzon and Marga
Crisostomo, who, unbeknownst to Mark, is starting to miss him just a little.
Raffy Nepomuceno is Derek, Mark’s roommate and best
friend, who used to be a notorious playboy, an expert at The Game. But that was
before he started dating Sandy,played by alternates Angela Mercado and Maria
Velez, the girl who was able to hook Derek and keep him on his toes because of
her apparent disinterest in commitment.
Find out how their stories will go as they discover all
about love, heartache, second chances, what-ifs, and what it means to finally
find that One Perfect Person who’s worth the commitment.
Bring back nostalgic memories of your awkward first
date, with Kayla Teodoro designing the perfect set, Juella Bautista creating
the ambiance with lights and sounds, Sam Javier choreographing every move, and
Ariel Quitangon picking the right clothes to wear. With Director Reb Atadero
and Assistant Director Darrell Uy at the helm, watch how they brilliantly bring
to life how love sparks and dies, alongside Krystal Kane’s dulcet musical
direction.
Running from September 23 - October 10, 2015 at the Fine Arts Theater located at the 3rd floor of Gonzaga Hall,
Ateneo de Manila University.
BREAKUPS
& BREAKDOWNS will definitely tug at your heartstrings.
