| 2/F Greenbelt 1, Ayala Center, Makati City |
| Director |
| Baby Barredo |
| Synopsis | |||
| Based on Mitch Albom’s best selling book, TUESDAYS WITH MORRIE is a heart-warming play that perfectly combines comedy, drama and poignancy. In a challenging commitment of time and expense, busy sportswriter Mitch Albom makes weekly treks from Detroit to Boston so he could spend Tuesday mornings with his former professor Morrie Schwartz, who is dying of Lou Gehrig’s disease. It unfolds the story of how these visits changed Mitch’s outlook on life. It is a feast for the mind and the heart. | |||

| OnStage |
| 2/F Greenbelt 1, Ayala Center, Makati City |
| Director |
| Ana Bitong |
| Synopsis | ||
| “To be, or not to be: that is the question.” – Probably the most famous speech in the English language from Shakespeare’s greatest masterpiece. Prince Hamlet attempts to seek revenge on his Uncle Claudius for poisoning his father, King of Denmark, and ascending to the throne. Hamlet exceeds by far most other tragedies of revenge in picturing the mingled sordidness and glory of the human condition. This is the first time Repertory Philippines takes on this dark tale of indecision, revenge and retribution, deception, ambition, loyalty and fate. |

| Synopsis | |||
| A romantic comedy about two lonely neighbors in a Chicago apartment building. Throughout the play, Isabel Fox and Charles Norton contend with their own feelings and those of their parents (who have a budding romance of their own). All four characters use their knack for music and words as they nervously navigate the path of true love. Romance In D’ is about communication, exploring oneself and expressing feeling. | |||

| Synopsis | ||
| What if there was an openly Christian boy band? Winner of the 2005 Outer Critics Circle Award for Best Off-Broadway Musical, ALTAR BOYZ is the smash hit musical-satire about a heavenly guy-group on the rise to stardom. The self-anointed apostles of pop–Matthew, Mark, Luke, Juan, and Abraham take the audience to church with catchy melodies, freaky moves, and product in their hair. Altar Boyz is destined to rock the masses of all denominations! A crowd pleaser, for sure: a harmless, non-stop good time, perfect for kids and teens and adults. | ||
