After their amazing performance of “Ang Nawalang Kapatid” earlier this year, Dulaang UP apparently went straight to the top when looking for a new play to mount: Shakespeare.
What costume designer Gino Gonzales couldn’t do due to budget constraints, he more than made up for in terms of silhouettes and textures to produce neutral-colored Elizabethan-inspired costumes made of katsa (muslin), raffia, jute and sinamay for Dulaang UP’s staging of William Shakespeare’s “Measure for Measure.”

If you want to win tickets to “Potted Potter’s” opening night (and you want to, we’re sure, because everyone will come in costume), submit your craziest “Pottering” picture. Ben and James will be choosing the best one and that person will win two tickets for the Sept. 30 show.
