Cancer in Space, theater thesis at Ateneo College

Get to know the playwright of “Cancer in Space”
Gabbi Campomanes has loved theatre since she was but a wee babe. She is currently the Company Manager of Ateneo Blue Repertory and is finishing her degree in Creative Writing. When she isn’t in the theatre, she can be found singing, sleeping marvelling at her sock collection, or reading about how to pickle okra.
“After being diagnosed with an illness that could potentially destroy the planet, Julie is abandoned in a space pod 30,000 kilometers away from the Earth’s surface. In the solitude of outer space, Julie tries to keep things interesting. Even if she’s going to, like, die.”

Glad to have you around and looking forward to meet new friends on all platforms!
Lets sing together! Broadway open mic in Manila.
If you are a singer you must sing daily, and when done in public it counts tripple!
So you like Broadway tunes, we do also! This is an oportunity to mingle and grow sharing our passion for musicals.
I will sing some pieces of the new musical I’m preparing, San Pedro Calungsod.
What will you sing?
Just bring an MP3 or CD with your background music and flash us with your talent!
This also serves as your audition piece for future projects singing together!
Where? At iChill Theater Cafe.
When? 11 Sept 2015 at 8pm. Free for customers!
Performing as Padre San Vitores in Pedro Calungsod the musical
Who is Padre San Vitores?
He was the mentor of San Pedro Calungsod, a martyr, a Spanish priest that died while converting the native Chamorros into Christians.
Now beatified. And I’m playing him in San Pedro Calungsod the musical.
I really think we look alike, do you agree?
So I think I was casted because of the looks, my accent and my performing skills.
So excited to play this character together with a very young cast working for Redlife productions. A company specialized in biblical characters.
The lead role is played by Philippine TV and singing star Gerald Santos. So fans of Gerald, stay tuned!
Next performance will be September 13 2015 at Lasalle Dasmariñas Cavite – Philippines.
Call the school and ask if there are tickets left!
Hamlet – Theater in the Philippines
Ikarus Productions presents “Hamlet” at DITO Bahay ng Sining, a theater in the Philippines. One of the most memorable and perhaps most disturbing among William Shakespeare’s plays, it tells the story of Hamlet, heir to the throne of Denmark, whose sanity started hanging by a thread after his father’s untimely demise and her mother’s marriage to her uncle. He immediately sensed something is wrong and plotted revenge before his insanity goes full circle. Or has it?
CAST
CLAUDIUS… Gian Carlo Patello IV
HORATIO… Jan Leyson
GERTRUDE… Natalia Go
POLONIUS… Andre Alcantara
LAERTES… Sky Abundo
OPHELIA… Danielle de Leon
HAMLET… Kuya Manzano
ARTISTIC STAFF & CREW
Lighting Designer… Jan Leyson asstd. by Gian Carlo Patello IV
Sounds Designer…. Jonathan Rodriguez
Production Designer… Claudine Delfin & Jay Crisostomo IV
Graphic Designer… Claudine Delfin
Direction… Jay Crisostomo IV
Director Jay Crisostomo IV chose to present the play with a neutral accent as he views this as more about entering the mind of Hamlet rather than focusing on getting the accents right. “It is a story which must be told with the ferocity of its topic but with also the gentleness of its protagonist. Hamlet screams ‘Murther!’ but before that final scream was the million-billion struggles which comes from the meek heart of a boy,” he shares.
The critically-acclaimed play will be staged on February 20, 21, 22, 27 and 28 and March 6, 7 and 8 at DITO Bahay ng Sining located in J. Molina St. corner Guizama St., Concepcion Uno, Marikina City. It will also be staged on iChill Theater Cafe on March 13 and 14 at 8pm and March 15 at 4pm. Directions and instructions as to how to get to DITO Bahay ng Sining can be referred to Arion through his contact details 0935 966 8769 or email ikarus.ph@gmail.com. Directions on going to iChill Theater Cafe can be accessed through Facebook & Twitter. Other details regarding special discounts and other similar deals can be seen on my official Facebook page, Kuya Manzano Fan Page, and my Twitter account @kuyamanzano. Hope to see you there. Gracias!
Back to Marco Polo the musical in 2015 playing Kublai Khan
After a pause I’m back in the production with a major role, the emperor Kublai Khan 8the son of Genghis Khan).
Hopefully you watched the previous runs of Marco Polo where I played Baron Tegan, the main antagonist to Marco Polo’s quest conquering the heart of Princess Kogajin.
Yeah, I love playing the bad guys 😀
It’s an honor to be back in the production with this role with several solo songs, a lot of weight… it’s a big challenge.
The notes are high and demanding, the acting too coz I’ll be playing a father and an emperor nevertheless.
I’ll work hard to give you the best.
And this is the preview of the latest version of the libretto and instrumentation. It has been bettered from last run at Meralco Theater.
Now we move to the most prestigious theater in the Philippines, to the CCP. All Pinoy performers respect performances at the main theater of the Cultural Center of the Philippines. So here also goes some pressure on our shoulders.
Here a pic of our last performance where I played bad ass Baron Tegan: Baron Tegan by Kuya Manzano in Marco Polo the Musical.
On stage as my wife will be the great Pinky Marques, what an honor. And legendary theater actor Chingoy Alonso as the Narrator. Princess Kogajin will be played by Stephanie Reese (Miss Saigon in Germany), my daughter.
See you in March 2015 at the CCP.
