MANILA, Philippines - Teatro Tomasino closes its 35th season with the staging of Dos Por Dos — a twin bill production directed by one of its honorary members, ABS-CBN director Erick Salud. Dos Por Dos features two Palanca winners: Joe Cool Aplikante by Joshua Lim So and Our Lady Of Arlegui by Chris Martinez. Student members Eudes Anthony Garcia and Izhar Alindada are Salud’s assistant directors.
Dos Por Dos will be staged at UST’s Albertus Magnus auditorium until Mar. 1 with performances at 10 a.m., 1 p.m., 4 p.m. and 7 p.m. Dos Por Dos aims to critique the current working environment in the Philippines and how religion plays a role in one’s workplace.
