Films
and music albums that win major awards normally enjoy a spike in sales (CD/DVD/Blueray/digital
formats) right after the awards night. But theater productions, especially in
the Philippines
that have very limited runs, don’t get to have that second shot. Normally, the
awards are given way after the original run has ended. But now William, the
play from the Philippine Educational Theater Association (PETA) that dominated
the recent 2011 Gawad Buhay! PHILSTAGE Awards will have a couple of special
shows this September 28, 2012
at the Cultural Center of the Philippines’
Tanghalang Aurelio Tolentino (CCP Little Theater).
William
is a play about teenagers who develop a love for William Shakespeare while
doing a class project (and dealing with several issues teenagers normally
experience).In this play, the Bard’s verses are intertwined with rap,
particularly FlipTop which is a Philippine rap battle league known across the
country. The cast underwent training with Tondo rapper Shielbert Manuel, a.k.a O.G.
Sacred in performing the ten original rap songs in the play by Jeff Hernandez along
with choreography by John Tan of the Urban Dance Crew.
The
play bagged the following awards during the 2011 Gawad Buhay! PHILSTAGE Awards:
Oustanding Play, Outstanding Direction for Maribel Legarda, Outstanding
Ensemble Performance in a Play, Outstanding Original Script for Ron Capinding,
Outstanding Male Lead Performance for Ian Segarra, Outstanding Female Featured
Performance for Meann Espinosa and Outstanding Male Featured Performance for
Jojo Atienza.
William’s
special performance on September 28, 2012 at 3:00 PM and 8:00 PM at the CCP is made
possible through the partnership of PETA and the Cultural
Center Philippines .
