PETA’s annual theater festival returns with a mix of original works that highlight diverse forms of performance and theater.

Monit-ah!” and “[email protected]” exploring how traditional and modern dilemmas test our Filipino values; and “Ang Kuwento ni Babae,” “Taya! Sabay Yakap,” and “At Nagkatawang Tao ang Verbo” touching on themes of gender and faith.

At the core of CAST’s theater practice are the staged readings, which provide actors an avenue to explore more works beyond commercial musicals. The annual staged readings, as is CAST’s tradition, are not announced in advance; audiences will only find out the title of the play during the show itself. This year’s staged readings are themed “Theoria Omnium” or a theory of everything—as all plays chosen revolve around scientific drama. The last play in the run happens on Feb. 2, and will star Dolly De Leon, Roselyn Perez, and Naths Everett.
