PETA presents 'Care Divas'

MANILA, Philippines - The Philippine Educational Theater Association’s (PETA) presents a series of encore performances of its hit musical dramedy Care Divas, which culminates today at 3 p.m. and 8 p.m. at the PETA Theater Center, 5 Eymard Drive, New Manila Q.C.

Care Divas is a highly physical, visually exciting play inspired by general life-stories of Overseas Filipino Workers (OFW’s) who work as caregivers of elderly Jews in the morning and pursue their own personal dreams as drag performers at night.

The play’s theatrical and wickedly funny text, written by award-winning playwright Liza Magtoto still cradles lovely gentle moments that mull over the lonely lives of the main characters.

It includes a powerhouse cast of theater actors such as Melvin Lee, Vincent De Jesus, Phil Noble, Buddy Caramat, Dudz Teraña, Jason Barcial, Eric dela Cruz and PETA president Cecilia Garrucho. Featuring guest artists such as Paul Holme, Ricci Chan, Jerald Napoles, Myke Salomon, Angeli Bayani together with emerging actors Miguel Hidalgo and Dominic Miclat-Janssen.
