Ma-Yi Theater Company has announced that its historic production of Lonnie Carter's The Romance of Magno Rubio is currently streaming online through June 4, 2020, only.

Since its founding in 1989, Ma-Yi Theater Company has distinguished itself as one of the country's leading incubators of new work shaping the national discourse about what it means to be Asian American today.

Repertory Philippines (REP) presents the 1981 Broadway play 'The Dresser,' written by Ronald Harwood, at the Onstage Theatre in Makati City from May 3 to 26, 2019. Directed by Loy Arcenas, his REP debut, 'The Dresser' stars theater veterans Audie Gemora and Teroy Guzman.

A book detailing the histories of Filipino American theater groups and artists is now available. Barangay to Broadway: Filipino American Theater History includes information on Tony Award winners such as Lea Salonga (Actress in a Musical for Miss Saigon), Clint Ramos (Costume Design for Eclipsed), Lena Hall (Featured Actress in a Musical for Hedwig and the Angry Inch) and Robert Lopez (Music for Avenue Q and Book of Mormon).

Following the musical film Ang Larawan was proclaimed Best Picture and won the Best Actress trophy for singer-actress and West End star Joanna Ampil at the Gabi ng Parangal of the Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF) 2017 Wednesday night, December 27, lead stars Ampil and Rachel Alejandro shared their thoughts about their film, directed by New York theater veteran Loy Arcenas.

The musical pedigree of Ang Larawan, an official entry to the 2017 Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF), traces back to Culturtain Musicat Productions' (formerly Musical Theatre Philippines) 1997 musical adaptation of Nick Joaquin's 1950 landmark play A Portrait of the Artist as Filipino. Why such a masterwork has stood the test of time is what this film adaptation wants you to fully grasp.

Sans the female lead Joanna Ampil (Candida), who's currently part of the UK/International tour of the musical Cats, the rest of the cast and the creative team behind the stage-to-screen adaptation of Nick Joaquin's A Portrait of the Artist as Filipino ( Ang Larawan ) recently met with the members of the Philippine press with one plea: urge the moviegoing public to catch the movie musical Ang Larawan during its first two days at the Metro Manila Film Festival (MMFF), which traditionally opens on Christmas Day and runs through the holidays.

As part of the Performatura Festival 2017 at the Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP), Cebu-based theater company Little Boy Productions and the Cebu Literary Festival will present songs and selected scenes from the Bisayan zarzuela 'Sangang Nangabali' at the Tanghalang Huseng Batute this Sunday, April 2, at 10:00 a.m. Admission is free.
