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

Last year, the birthday gift I gave myself is an expensive ticket worth almost P5,000 to Cirque Du Soleil's "Varekai." Pikit-mata talaga when I bought the ticket but I wanted to watch it so badly due to the good reviews. After the show, I'm glad I made that decision and told myself I wanted to watch all 21 Cirque Du Soleil's shows kung kakayanin in my lifetime. I'm so happy "Saltimbanco" is coming to Manila this month, again my birthday gift to myself =)

I was blessed to watch "Phantom of the Opera" with my sister in Broadway, New York City. I'm recommending it so much that if you are going to witness one musical in your lifetime, let it be this... I'm a theater addict so that's saying much =)

"Potted Potter" is a delight for Harry Potter fans and "Bona" seems interesting due to the talented Eugene Domingo in it.

May we be inspired and make more money to be able to watch these wonderful shows... hehe =)
