Calling all theater kids! PETA’s in-person summer workshop is back this May

Looking for a new hobby for the summer?

The Philippine Educational Theater Association (PETA) is bringing back its face-to-face summer theater workshops starting this May 2023!

PETA postponed its workshops due to the COVID-19 pandemic but in the past year, it reopened its stage and brought theater back to Filipino audiences. In recent months, PETA wrapped its highly anticipated run of its newest original musical Rody Vera’s Walang Aray.

During the lockdowns, PETA took its annual summer workshops online, then to a hybrid setup. This year, all the activities will be taking place fully in person at the PETA Theater Center in Quezon City. Five courses will be offered for the workshops for all ages, which include the following:

• Children’s Theater 1 (6 to 8 years old) is a safe space for little kids to get immersed in the art of rhythmic movement, dance, songs, puppetry, storytelling, and many more;
• Children’s Theater 2 (9 to 12 years old) offers kids a journey of artistic discovery through music, visual arts, poetry, story writing, storytelling, and drama improvisation;
• Teen Theater (14 to 17 years old) employs PETA’s one-of-a-kind Integrated Theater Arts approach to create a combination of a fun and challenging workshop course designed for teens looking to nourish their artistic spirit through creative drama, sound and music, and visual arts;
• Musical Theater for Teens (13 to 17 years old) is rooted in experimentation and discovery for musically inclined teens, offering a workshop course that aims to develop the connections between body, music, and storytelling through various theatrical activities;
• Theater Arts (18 years old and up) is a beginner’s course for adults that will teach the fundamentals of theater acting, dramatic improvisation, and theater production;
• Acting 1 (18 years old and up) is an adult’s course that focuses on the specialized skill of acting, to develop and enhance one’s acting tools by exploring different acting styles and principles for experienced performers to level up in their discipline; and
• Creative Musical Theater (18 years old and up) is a course for musically inclined adults which explores the fine art of musical theater by allowing participants to experience the elements of musical performance, composition, and production in order to understand the harmonization of the different fields that make a successful musical show.
