What is It
Philippine Theater and Performing Groups
PETA and Tanghalang Pilipino
In the past few decades, modern theater groups have continued to express the
distinctly Philippine interpretation of both originally written plays as well as adaptations
of foreign works translated into Filipino.
At the forefront of these are the Philippine Educational Theater Association
(PETA), founded in 1967 by Cecile Guidote-Alvarez, and Tanghalang Pilipino, the
resident theater company of the Cultural Center of the Philippines, founded in 1987.

Meanwhile, other Philippine theater groups are also staging original and
adapted plays and musical productions, primarily in English. Best known among these
are Repertory Philippines, Trumpets, and New Voice Company. More recently,
Theater Down South has been added to their roster. And championing the cause of
the more classical form of musical performances is the Philippine Opera Company.
Repertory Philippines
In 1967, theater director Zenaida Amador fulfilled her dream of bringing the best
of Broadway and th actress
Baby Barredo, Amador established Repertory Philippines, a company that not only
4
staged English-language plays and musicals year-round but trained actors and
actresses as well. The company continues with this vision to this day.
Multi-awarded theater actress and singer, Lea Salonga, in fact, began her
career as a child lead in productions of Repertory Philippines. From there, she went
on to become an international stage superstar in the lead role of Kim in Miss Saigon
putting the Philippines on the world map in terms of theater talent.
Also, 93 staging of
the international hit musical Les Miserables in Manila with an all-Filipino cast and
production team.
Trumpets
In the 1990s, the Philippine theater
group Trumpets also began mounting
grand productions of originally written
musicals with a slant towards good values
for children and the whole family. Among
their plays have been Joseph the
Dreamer; First Name; The Lion, the Witch,
and the Wardrobe; Little Mermaid; Honk;
N.O.A.H.; and The Bluebird of Happiness.
The Bluebird of Happiness (Trumpets, 2013)
The intention of Trumpets is to provide wholesome theater experiences for Filipino
youth while also building up the Philippine theater-going public.Triumphant People's
Evangelistic Theater Society (Trumpets) was founded by Audie Gemora.

New Voice Company
Also making its own distinct contribution
to the Philippine theater scene is New Voice
Company, established in 1994 by Monique
Wilson also a Repe
protégée who went on to star on the
international stage. New Voice has earned a
reputation for staging thought-provoking
productions on daring and deep topics.

What I Have Learned
Now that you have finished this module, you can share with your family and
friends your insights by completing the following sentence prompts. Write your
answers in your notebook.
What I Can Do
There are several different ways that you can format a theatre script. The example
below is a standard formatting and one that we like. (Note that theater scripts and
film scripts are usually formatted in different ways.) If you have already written your
play and your formatting is different from this, do not panic. Formatting for the theater
is flexible up to a point. As long as there is a clear differentiation between stage
directions and dialogue, and the script is easy to read and carefully proofread, it may
well be acceptable. Do not forget to put your name and contact details on the cover
page.
7
ACT ONE
SCENE 1
Stage directions are usually given in italics. Some writers put them in UPPER CASE
ITALICS. OTHERS JUST PUT THEM IN UPPER CASE. The main idea is to
differentiate them clearly from the dialogue.
CHARACTER 2: Left align everything. Do not use right hand justification to the
document.
CHARACTER 1: Use a font like Times New Roman or Arial. Fonts like Courier New
and Arial Narrow are hard to read, and fancy fonts are just a nuisance. Remember
that this is a working document and must be easy for actors and directors to use.
Pause
CHARACTER 1: (to herself) Brief stage directions that specifically apply to one
character can be put in the dialogue like this.
SCENE 2
It is a good idea to keep stage directions to a minimum. Directors and actors need
the space to put their own interpretations on what you have written. So, forget about
s integral to
the action of the play. They just annoy the director.
CHARACTER 3: Do not forget to paginate your script. It is also a good idea to put
the name of the script on each page as part of the header in slightly smaller print
than the dialogue.
CHARACTER 1: Proofread your finished script carefully AFTER you print it out and
BEFORE you send it to us. Check spellings, punctuation, line spacings etc. Your
play does not have to be grammatically correct and you might choose not to use
standard punctuation but it DOES need to be consistent. Poor proofreading
suggests a lack of professionalism.
