Of sparking stories and amplifying emotions onstage.
Artistang Artlets, the official theater guild of the Faculty of Arts and Letters, presented their production for the 43rd Juniors’ Theater Literacy Program titled ‘APLAYA’ on Saturday, April 13, at the St. Raymund de Penafort building.
Directed by CASAn Junior Mari Ymanuel O. Roxas, the play encompasses a dressmaker named Ayla who fosters an unexpected connection with neighbors Marnie, Jordan, and Alon, a sari-sari store owner, exploring themes of finding comfort in seeking aid in times of need.
Despite weaving stories and moving themes, these plays also explore theatre elements and technicalities for the audiences to immerse in.
