'Tis the season for theater in Cebu

Little Boy Productions, Cebu's leading theater production company, is celebrating its 5th Year Anniversary with two inspiring theater events in Cebu this June and July-Broadway's current hit play "Doubt" starring Cherie Gil and a musical from Repertory Philippines-"I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change!"

"Doubt" will be staged in Cebu on June 30. In her return to the stage after 20 years, movie and television star Cherie Gil leads the cast of this suspenseful and gripping mystery. Winner of the 2005 Pulitzer Prize for Best Drama and the 2005 Tony Award for Best Play, "Doubt" has been hailed as the most compelling and magnificently crafted piece of drama to hit the Broadway stage in years. "Doubt" will run in Cebu on June 30, July 1 and 2 at the Onstage! in Ayala Center Cebu.

After "Doubt" comes the musical comedy "I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change!" from Repertory Philippines. This is a rare opportunity for audiences outside of Metro Manila to watch a Repertory Philippines production. The musical is also New York's longest-running musical revue about love, dating and relationships, and is guaranteed a crowd-pleaser. It has been reviewed by national dailies as "perfectly pleasant" and "a runaway success great voices, perfect comedic timing and most of all undeniable chemistry."

The musical revue stars four of Manila's top theater actors-Cathy Azanza, Liesl Batucan, Robbie Guevara, and Niccolo Manahan who portray more than 60 characters in a two-hour collection of sketches and musical numbers about the joys of romance, marriage and other matters of the heart. Directed by Michael Williams, "I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change!" will be staged on July 28, 29 and 30 at the SM Cinema 2, SM City Cebu.
