Repertory Philippines proudly presents its special holiday treat for the entire family with the new production of SCROOGE THE MUSICAL.

The Charles Dicken’s classic tale “A Christmas Carol” comes to life with renowned writer-composer-lyricist Leslie Bricusse’s delightful interpretation in SCROOGE THE MUSICAL beginning November 21, 2014 at Onstage, 2/F, Greenbelt 1, Paseo de Roxas cor. Legazpi St., Makati City.

SCROOGE THE MUSICAL is set during Christmas in London, England and closely follows the classic story with the miserly Ebenezer undergoing a profound experience of redemption over the course of a Christmas Eve night, after being visited by the ghost of his former partner Jacob Marley and the Ghosts of Christmas past, present and future.

The musical features a sparkling, tuneful score with traditional Christmas melodies complete with live music, dazzling choreography, and new surprises that will lovingly melt even the hardest of hearts as the true meaning of Christmas is highlighted.

Tanghalang Ateneo, the longest-running theater company of the Loyola Schools of the Ateneo de Manila University, celebrates its 36th season with the theme “Navigating Identities”. To articulate this, the company will stage plays that explore man’s need to find himself and his place in the world.

After a successful production of Han Ong's "Middle Finger" last August, the company now focuses its attention on Glenn Sevilla Mas's "Rite of Passage: Sa Pagtubu kang Tahud (An adaptation of a Kinaray-a short story by Maria Milagros Geremia Lachica).

The play was first produced by Tanghalang Pilipino for the Virgin Labfest, the Cultural Center of the Philippines' annual festival of new plays in 2005.

Set in Catungan IV, a quiet barrio in the province of Antique, the play opens with a painful ritual that propels reluctant, young protagonist Isoy into manhood. As he is seduced by the promised pleasures of sex, Isoy bravely confronts his past in a bid to take control of his future, and the truth can be as overwhelming as the lurid images of scantily-clothed women in magazines.
