Just like the Philippine Educational Theater Association, Repertory Philippines was founded in 1967 and is celebrating its 45th anniversary. Next year it will be showcasing its 75th season, as it normally has two seasons within a given year.
In a year that was largely more of the same—that is, like last year, ruled by musicals, the plays barely making comparable buzz—the biggest and most significant developments in local theater happened mostly offstage.
After the success of last year’s hilarious “Shakespeare in Hollywood” (written by American playwright-director Ken Ludwig), Repertory Philippines is staging another Ludwig comedy, “Leading Ladies,” as its second offering in 2012.
For its first production this year, Repertory Philippines mounted a significant comedy-drama with a heart, Geoffrey Nouffts’ “Next Fall” (OnStage, Greenbelt 1, directed by Audie Gemora).
The ballas “This Is the Moment,” popularized by pop singers Martin Nievera and Erik Santos in the 2000s, is from the Broadway musical “Jekyll and Hyde.”
