Rak of Aegis is Back for Another Run This June 2015
It’s been a fruitful 47th
theater season for the Philippine Educational Theater Association
(PETA); and while the theater is ablaze with the ongoing Summer Program,
the company shows no signs of stopping for a breather.
PETA’s 48th season sees the comeback of crowd favorite and hit comedy
musical Rak of Aegis. Fans and first-timers are expected to flood the
theater for this record-breaking hit that is set to open this June, due
to insistent public demand.
Breakout Kapuso star Aicelle Santos, and 2009 WCOPA Champion Kim
Molina come back as Aileen; the promodizer with big dreams to raise her
family from the knee-deep floods that have plagued their town for
months. This all-Filipino, all-original musical features songs from the
iconic band Aegis, with a star-studded ensemble on an award winning,
must-see set.
This comedy musical has hit a record-breaking 135 shows in the first
year of its showing alone, a milestone for the theater company and
indeed, for Philippine theater. In 2014 alone it has garnered over 16
citations for performance and technical categories including Outstanding
Original Musical, Outstanding Ensemble Performance for a Musical, Stage
Direction for a Musical (Maribel Legarda), Original Libretto (Liza
Magtoto), Musical Direction (Myke Salomon), Choreography (Gio Gahol),
Costume Design (Carlo Pagunaling), Sound Design (Salomon and Happy
Constantino), Set Design (Mio Infante), Female Lead Performance in a
Musical (Aicelle Santos and Joan Bugcat), Female Featured Performance in
a Musical (Kalila Aguilos) and Male Featured Performance in a Musical
(Myke Salomon, Pepe Herrera, Jerald Napoles and Juliene Mendoza)
The cast of Rak has also enjoyed several new projects in between
runs: Poppert Bernadas who plays Aileen’s suitor Kenny was recently seen
in The Voice Philippines, while Pepe Herrera (Tolits) enjoys a stint in
the romcom TV series, Forevermore. Singer Kim Molina also breaks into
the theater scene with production after production, most recently in the
upcoming Kung Paano Ako Naging Leading Lady by Dalanghita Productions.
This run also welcomes many new neighbors to Barangay Venizia. Actor
and singer Lorenz Martinez plays Aileen’s father Kiel, opposite Lani
Ligot (Priscilla Queen of the Dessert; Broad Way, Narrow Way) who plays
Mercy, Aileen’s mother; The Company’s Sweet Plantado also joins the cast
as Mary Jane. The ensemble is joined by PETA artist-teacher Roi
Calilong (D’ Wonder Twins of Boac, PAMANA), and Teetin Villanueva
(MANHID, Maxie the Musical).
The cast also sees the return of talented ensemble members made up of
Stella Mendoza (Mary Jane), Kakai Bautista and Neomi Gonzales (Mercy),
Jerald Napoles (Tolits), Myke Salomon (Kenny), Nor Domingo, Julienne
Mendoza, and Gie Onida (Fernan), Phi Palmos, Ron Alfonso, and Jimmy
Marquez (Jewel), Gimbey dela Cruz, Abi Sulit, Gab Pangilinan, Jet
Barrun, Gio Gahol, Carlon Matobato, John Moran, Paeng Sudayan, and Kakki
Teodoro (Ensemble).
The play runs from June 17 to August 16 from Tuesdays to Fridays

Center located at No. 5 Eymard Drive, New Manila, QC.
