This 2013, Repertory Philippines starts their season with Boeing Boeing by Marc Camoletti and translated by Beverley Cross and Francis Evans which will be directed by Miguel Faustmann.
Boeing Boeing is about "an architect living in Paris has been successfully juggling three flight attendant fiancées with his housekeeper reluctantly playing romantic air-traffic controller as they fly in and out of his swank bachelor pad. But when an old school pal visits, things get rather turbulent. Schedules change, flights are delayed and chaos ensues in this whirl of mayhem and matchmaking."
David Bianco will essay the role of Mr. Bernard Whitford, an American architect businessman living in Paris --- a swinging bachelor. He is a combination of Don Draper and Jack Tripper. A playboy who juggles love affairs with three air hostesses who touch down briefly but lovingly in his apartment between flights.

Bringing to mind fantasy drawings from a vintage Esquire or Playboy for a portfolio of international dream girls are the three fiancées: Giannina Ocampo as Gabriella, the sentimental, lusty Italian stewardess. Carla Dunareanu as Gretchen, the hilarious, aggressive, dominating but thin-skinned German stewardess. Jennifer Blair-Bianco as Gloria, the Southern belle with upbeat disposition take-charge health-obsessed American stewardess.

Baby Barredo, Co-Founder and Artistic Director of Repertory Philippines, will be making a comeback on stage and will play the role of Bertha, Bernard's long-suffering housekeeper who is a chic, black-clad philosopher. A French existentialist maid who loves nothing more than to complain. Ms. Joy Virata is alternate.

Repertory Philippines' next show will be No Way to Treat a Lady with book, music and lyrics by Douglas J. Cohen based on the novel by William Goldman.

based on a bestselling novel and renowned movie. It will be starred by Michael
Williams and Carla Guevara-Laforteza to be directed
by Menchu Lauchengco-Yulo
The third show is the one to be highly awaited for! If you remember this song by Simon and Garfunkel, I'm sure you'll know the title of the show:
And here's to you, Mrs. Robinson
Jesus loves you more than you will know (Wo, wo, wo)
God bless you please, Mrs. Robinson
Heaven holds a place for those who pray
(Hey, hey, hey...hey, hey, hey)
If you've guessed it right, you're probably a fan of the film just like me! :) The Graduate on film was directed by Mike Nichols which starred the then young Dustin Hoffman as Benjamin Broddock whose raging hormones lead to the seduction of Mrs. Robinson played by Anne Bancroft. The film is adapted for the stage by Terry Johnson based on the novel by Charles Webb and the screenplay by Calder Willingham and Buck Henry.
The show will be starred by the sexy la divina of Philippine Theater Ms. Cherie Gil together with Reb Atadero and Cara Barredo. It will be directed by Jaime Del Mundo.

Often called the “most professional English-speaking theater company in the country,” REPERTORY PHILIPPINES is the only company in the Philippines that has been doing what it knows best—performing shows of wholesome, quality entertainment—so that Philippine audiences can enjoy the pleasures and gain the lessons uniquely offered by the theater experience.
In fact, if you've been following my blog, my first theater experience was with Repertory Philippines and I've fell in love with theater then, hence my blog is filled up with a lot of entries about shows I've watch. Thanks to Repertory Philippines!
