PETA Theater Center
No.5 Eymard Drive, New Manila, Quezon City

"MANILA, Philippines—After 25 successful shows, the Philippine Educational Theater Association is extending its run of “Bona” until September 30 at The PETA Theater Center.

From the 1980’s Lino Brocka film starring Nora Aunor as the naïve, schoolgirl Bona and Philip Salvador as Gardo, the movie extra whom Bona worshipped out of fan obsession, PETA’s production presents a similar story with characters in the modern setting.

Portraying the title role, Eugene Domingo plays a spinster call center agent who becomes obsessed with a star-search wannabe actor essayed by Edgar Allan Guzman.

“Lahat kami nag-share ng experiences namin and we gave our input on how we think the story of Bona should be during this time. Dapat reflection ito ng panahon natin but we retained the vision of Direk Lino Brocka. Pero in the same manner, dapat maka-identify din ang audience sa kuwento kasi contemporary na ang setting,” shares lead actress Domingo.

“By bridging film, theater and television, Bona aims to gather more supporters for the theater industry,” says Domingo, as she urges movie and TV audiences to also patronize the theater, “I encourage them to please experience theater.” - Philippine Daily Inquirer

About the Show:

"Spinster call center agent Bona upon seeing the televised pitiful background of Gino Sanchez immediately becomes a fan of the Star of Tomorrow wannabe. In her desire to help him jumpstart his showbiz career, she gives him everything she has and turns her back to everything she values. Blinded by her belief in him, she allows all his faults to freely slide as she finds herself drowning in the surreal quicksand of worship and pity where manipulation blurs the line between prey and predator, the dismissive god and the faithful worshiper." - PETA

About the Show:

Caredivas is a disarmingly funny and candid musical drama. It is a story about five Filipino transgender migrant workers who have emigrated to Israel to work as health care providers for the elderly and who in their spare time, perform as drag queens. While desperate to make ends meet in another country, they also struggle to search for freedom and acceptance. Entertaining as it is, the play also demonstrates the generosity of spirit, resilience and humanity of Filipinos.

About the Workshop

Remember when you used to dream of becoming an artist, whose works will be exhibited in galleries all over the world...

Then life happened. You had to find work, manage a business or take care of the family. You started to accept that becoming an artist will have to remain a fantasy.

Maybe, it is not yet too late to give up on that dream. Remember, Grandma Moses started her career as a painter in her late seventies.

This year, PETA offers a Visual Arts Class that could help you rediscover a lifelong dream that has been pushed to the backseat. Brenda Fajardo, multi-awarded visual artist and PETA artist-teacher facilitates the class on June 6 - 10, 2011, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM.

For a fee of P5,000, experience 5 fun sessions in drawing and painting, discovering and exploring color using colored pencils, paints and other media.

Register now by calling (63-2)725-6244 or (+63)917-576-9339 and rekindle your creative spark!
