ORIGINAL PERFORMANCE WITH THE USE OF MEDIA
Introduction
Theater is the one major art that brings together all the other art forms- from
painting and sculpture, to installation art, to music, to dance, to literature, even to
computer arts- in a single production. A story is acted out on stage by actors
portraying the characters, bringing them to life and developing the plot through
dialogue and actions, and sometimes through song and/ or dance.
PHILIPPINE THEATER PERFORMING GROUPS
PETA and Tanghalang Pilipino
Founded in 1967 by Cecile Guidote- Alvarez, and Tanghalang Pilipino, the
resident theater company of the Cultural Center of the Philippines, founded in 1987.
Himala Pamana
Tanghalang Pilipino, 2004 PETA, 2003
The production of these groups span the range from daring new presentations
of classical works, to the spectacle of Philippine myths and legends, to commentaries
on current social and political issues.
Repertory Philippines
In 1967, theater director Zenaida Amador fulfilled her dream of bringing the
best of Broadway and London’s West End to Filipino audiences. Together with
actress Baby Barredo, Amador established Repertory Philippines, a company that not
only staged English- language plays and musicals year-round but trained actors and
actresses as well. The company continues with this vision to this day.
In its 2009 season, Repertory added a Filipino classic in English to its
productions- A Portrait of the Artist as Filipino, by National Artist Nick Joaquin. To
date, it continues to offer a mix of productions ranging from literacy classics to
contemporary satires, comedies, and musicals.

Trumpets
` In the 1990s, the Trumpets began mounting grand productions of originally
written musicals with a slant towards good values for children and the whole family.
The intension of Trumpets is to provide wholesome theater experiences for Filipino
youth while also building up the Philippine theater- going public.
New Voice Company
Established in 1994 by Monique Wilson- also a Repertory Philippines’
protégée who went on to star on the international stage. New Voice has earned a
reputation for staging thought- provoking productions on “controversial” and
profound topics.
Philippine Opera Company
Founded in 1999 by a group of dedicated classically- trained singers, led by
soprano Karla Gutierrez as artistic directress. The POC seeks to develop performers as
well as audiences for classical music performances, both foreign and Filipino.
Theater Down South
It was founded in 2007, with Philippine theater mainstay Michael Williams as
artistic director. The vision of the company was to widen the reach of stage
productions beyond the traditional centers in Metro Manila, and therefore develop a
broader audience base.
Roles in a Stage Production
Most visible on stage in a theater production are the actors and actresses
playing their roles. However, behind the scenes is an entire team whose work begins
months in advance of the actual performance.
Producer- this is the person who takes play from a mere concept to an actual
finished production. He chooses all the team members and assigns them their
functions, and oversees the casting of the actors and actresses.
Director- overall artistic coordinator of the entire production.
Playwright- for a script intended for a stage performance, the writer of the
script is more specifically called a playwright. The initial concept or plot may be
original, and then developed into a play script.
Set designer- he or she builds the set that will simulate the world that the
play’s characters are supposed to live in.
Lighting designer- lighting is critical in creating the mood of each scene in the
play, highlighting a dramatic moment, signaling the entrance of a character and many
more.
Costume designer- he studies the general setting that the play is meant to take
place in, as well as each character in the script.
Sound designer- this serves as a vital role in creating and enhancing the
atmosphere of the performance.
Production manager- coordinating all the complex behind-the-scenes details
of staging a play.
Technical director- shadows the play’s director throughout the entire
production process.
Choreographer- in cases where a play involves dance in certain scenes, he
plans out all dance steps to suit the music, and rehearses the actors until they are able
to perform the dance skillfully while remaining “in character” on stage.
Makeup designer- he plan the hairstyles and makeup to complement the
costumes.
