Gantimpala Theater Musical Workshop 2009

This long, hot summer is upon us and to make it more worthwhile, especially for the young and young-at-heart, Gantimpala Theater invites teens and young adults to participate and join their annual summer workshop, a glorious tradition considered as the breeding ground of new theater artists.

In the Gantimpala Theater Musical Workshop, which is open to teens and young adults, ages 13 and up, facilitators Roeder Camañag and Onyl Torres, will guide and teach them an integrated class of movement, singing, and acting. The month-long class will have different modules that would prepare the participants for a musical theater production performance. They will also do an original musical production as their culminating piece.

The workshop is slated on April 13 to May 21, MWF classes, from 1-5pm., inside the Rehearsal Hall, Open Air Auditorium Building, in Luneta, Manila. Registration and enrollment opens on March 16 (Monday).

“We are hoping to see you this summer. It is through the summer workshop we discover new talents with the hope of nurturing them to become professional thespian. In their short stay with us, we hope we have instilled with them the discipline and professionalism we are known for and that this workshop experience will start their love affair with the theater,” says Tony Espejo, Artistic Director.

Espejo concludes, “I would like to tell the public that many celebrities have expressed their interest to be part of our productions namely Jericho Rosales, Aiza Marquez, Allan Paule, Gary Lim, Cris Villonco, Francis Ong, China Cojuangco, Kakai Bautista, Tosca Puno and Monica Llamas plus our in house members like Jojit Lorenzo, Kimberly Diaz, Miguel Castro, Adriana Agcaoili Perry Escaño and Roeder Camañag.
