Cinderella

 

cindy_fairygod.jpgI remember when I was high school, my parents would bring me along to watch Repertory plays at the Insular Life building.  I liked it so much and became a regular season ticket holder….and did not miss a single play. It was very entertaining and it was cozy because the theater was small so no matter what seat you were in, you felt close to the actors and as if you were part of the play. I remember Michael Williams, Miguel Faustman, Baby Barredo and Joy Virata.  I really liked them. 

Repertory now has found its new home at Greenbelt On Stage.  We have recently watched Aladdin Jr, Sound of Music and Cinderella. After watching Sound of Music, my kids wanted to audition for REP as they saw kids their age acting and singing. Though judging by the kids reactions, they seemed to enjoy Cinderella the most as it had more elaborate props and settings, it was funny and most important interactive.step20family204.JPG I am so glad that there is theater in our country that my children can go to so they can get exposed to the arts. We need to patronize the local arts so that they can continue and improve the quality of their productions.  I wish REP more success and I hope that they will continue to bring joy and laughter through stage. 

 

 

 

There are still two more plays remaining for the year:
