Stage Tube: PETA’s ‘The Post Office’ With The Loboc Children’s Choir

By: Sep. 18, 2010

Featuring international child actor Martin Delos Santos, stage luminaries Jojo Atienza, Bembol Roco,  Bodjie Pascua, and the world-renowned Loboc Children's Choir, the Philippine Educational Theater Association (PETA) has just presented a Filipino adaptation of Indian poet and playwright Rabindranath Tagore's "The Post Office" at the PETA Center Theatre in New Manila, Quezon City.

Carlos Palanca award-winning writer Rody Vera reconstructs a contemporary milieu based on Tagore's Bengali narrative. The newly-adapted piece transposes early 20th century rural Bengal into a modern day Filipino town.

Jeff Hernandez composes the incidental music. Gardy Labad directs.

"Mr. Delos Santos' natural actor's instincts when essaying 10-year-old protagonist Abel in PETA's 'The Post Office' brings out a delightful and charming portrayal." - BroadwayWorld.com
