'N.O.A.H. (No Ordinary Aquatic Habitat)' opens Sept. 4 at Meralco Theater

MANILA, Philippines -- TRUMPETS, the theater company behind the critically acclaimed productions of   “Joseph The Dreamer”, “The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe” and “Little Mermaid” is back on stage with another original musical for the enjoyment of the whole family - N.O.A.H. (No Ordinary Aquatic Habitat).

Trumpets retells the classic story of the Biblical patriarch and his famous ark with wit and humor, pathos and heart, hope and joy, of course, fun!

“Yes, we’re back,” declares returning Trumpets president, Audie Gemora. “We’ve always worked toward producing shows that are of the highest production quality possible, are geared towards the family and, most importantly, espouse God’s messages of love and hope. And if ever there is a time we need hope, it is now and, if there ever were a story that best promises that hope, it is NOAH.”

“We’ve always tried to put a modern take on what would otherwise be an ‘old’ story,” explains its writer and director, Jaime Del Mundo. “Aside from Noah’s always relevant theme of hope and second chances, we address three of man’s most vital relationships – man with God, man with his fellowmen and man with his environment. Concern for the environment and ecology – these are real concerns here and now.”

Originally produced and staged with puppets, this tale of a single man’s faith and obedience against seemingly insurmountable odds will now feature a cast of seasoned theater performers. Veteran actor, singer, producer and artist manager Carlo Orosa heads the list as the jovial and staunchly devoted Noah. Acclaimed star of West Ends “South pacific” Sheila Francisco is the culinarily-challenged Mrs. Noah. They will be supported by an ensemble of the Philippines finest theater performers plus some new exciting talent!

And as always, TRUMPETS will not disappoint with its dynamic, professional and talented creative team. Del Mundo again teams up again with  “The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe” and “Little Mermaid” Production Designer Mio Infante. Together they breathe new life into NOAH via imaginative staging, a fabulous set and colorful, whimsical costume designs never before seen on the Philippine stage. The music by Musical Director Rony Fortich is lively, spirited, appealing and at the same time moving and inspiring. This combination will not fail to make NOAH a live theater experience incomparable to any other form of entertainment. This is a show that’s not to be missed!

N.O.A.H. (No Ordinary Aquatic Habitat) opens at the Meralco Theater on Sept. 4 and will run till Sept. 27 with shows every weekend in between. Also an excellent opportunity for fund-raising and block-buying.
