Early in 2020, the Philippine Educational Theater Association’s (PETA) Under My Skin has been constantly garnering critical acclaim for its honest and multifaceted approach in depicting people with HIV/AIDS onstage when its run, along with a handful of theater productions in the Metro, was abruptly halted when lockdowns were imposed due to the threat of the Covid-19 virus.
Fast forward to the final quarter of 2021, PETA and its partners, advocacy organizations The Red Whistle and LoveYourself, and major co-presenter UNILAB, Inc. announce the return of Under My Skin via online streaming from November 26-December 5, 2021 through the Ticket2me platform.
Unlike PETA’s most recent (and successful) online streaming of its megahit musical Rak of Aegis that showed a recorded live performance complete with an audience from its latest run, the upcoming Under My Skin online presentation will instead show a closed door performance at the PETA stage by the cast, led by award winning film and television actress Cherry Pie Picache, that was specifically filmed for online streaming.
Keeping the script by playwright Rody Vera intact, the filmed version will recreate the experience of watching the play inside the PETA Theater Center but with the added perspectives brought forth by the use of three different cameras as director Melvin Lee explained during the online media launch held recently.
Joining Cherry Pie Picache in this filmed performance are Eko Baquial, Gio Gahol, Mike Liwag, Jarred Jaicten, Kitsi Pagaspas, Dylan Ray Talon, Dudz Teraña, She Maala, Bene Manaois, Erold Enriquez, Jason Barcial, Joseph Madriaga, Rach Gimpes, Reggie Ondevilla, Roy Dahildahil, Gerard Dy, and Ekis Gimenez.
Available globally and with English subtitles, Under My Skin will run on November 26-28, and November 30-December 5, 2021.
Tickets are priced at P180 for livestream, and P250 for video on demand available at www.ticket2me.net, bit.ly/undermyskinonline, or through any of the Under My Skin Online showbuyers.
