Just the first three questions. Haha. Wala lang, just thought they were interesting questions.
1. What the first stage play you ever did? How old were you then?
First semester, Senior year, college. Joined blueREP on a whim, ended up as Mr. Harry McAfee in Bye Bye Birdie. This was 2003. I was 20 when rehearsals started and 21 when the show went on.
2. Among all the productions that you did, which one is your favorite and why?
Merrily We Roll Along, both times I did it. Hands down. The blueREP version was sort of my graduation from merely dabbling into theater to getting into it full time. There was a lot at stake when the production started, and throughout the process, it really opened up my eyes as to what I should be doing. The bonds I forged through the process of the production may be some of the strongest within blueREP.
Then there's the Rep Workshop version, where I played Charley Kringas. This was felt like my graduation from college theater into the "real world" of professional theater, so to speak. (Not that I've done much professional work since then; I'm back with blueREP after all.) The hard work that went into it, as well as all the passion that a good number of the workshoppers put into it, certainly made this a memorable and emotional experience for me. And the friendships formed through this experience, particularly with my fellow "old friends," will last a lifetime.
3. What do you think will your job be right now if you're not doing what you do? (Tama ba?)
Definitely nothing corporate. Call center if I'm desperate (which probably means I've failed to find a job for five years), but more likely, I'd be teaching or tutoring.
