The long, hot summer is upon us and to make it more worthwhile, especially for the young and young-at-heart, Gantimpala Theater invites teens and young adults to participate and join their annual summer workshop, a glorious tradition considered as the breeding ground of new theater artists.

In the Gantimpala Theater Musical Workshop, which is open to teens and young adults (ages 13 and up), facilitators Roeder Camañag and Only Torres will guide and teach them an integrated class of movement, singing, and acting. The month-long class will have different modules that would prepare the participants for a musical theater production performance. They will also do an original musical production as their culminating piece.
 
The workshop is slated on April 13 to May 21, M-W-F classes, from 1-5pm. inside the Rehearsal Hall, Open Air Auditorium Building, in Rizal Park, Manila. Registration and enrollment opens on March 16 (Monday).
 
"We are hoping to see you this summer. It is through the summer workshop we discover new talents with the hope of nurturing them to become professional thespian. In their short stay with us, we hope we have instilled with them the discipline and professionalism we are known for and that this workshop experience will start their love affair with the theater," says artistic director Tony Espejo.
 
Gantimpala Theater is a 32-year dramatic arts company that produces the Four Classics (Florante at Laura, Kanser, Ibong Adarna, and El Filibusterismo), and plays made by National Artists for Literature and Theater, children's musicals, world literature classics, and touring productions.
