Day 15



They sent me these at our home address --- I mean where I grew up :-) When my brother gave these recently, boy, did I have a flashback of my younger days. To a time when I wanted to be a stage actor. Haha.  Ain't that funny? Anyway, they kept their records so it seems... the last time I subscribed to their season tickets was before bff Cathy was assigned to Vienna...lemme see... about 11 years ago! Cathy is my partner in theater-movie-dining activities. And watching REP plays was one of our favorite things! :-) I saw my first REP play in HS --- "Blithe Spirit". I think I was 13 or 14 at that time. Celia Diaz-Laurel, Freddie Santos and Baby Barredo were the main actors. It was about a restless ghost. After that, I was hooked. Good thing my father supported my interest and bought extra season tickets for me. Back then, they were playing at the Insular Life theater in Paseo de Roxas in Makati. When I started earning, I continued to buy season tickets. By this time, they transferred to the theater at the Shangrila Plaza in EDSA.

When Cathy went to Vienna, I continued going then lost interest because for some reason they did plays that were mostly for children. Duh! After doing Amadeus, Piaf, The Diary of Anne Frank, Dangerous Liaisons, The Man from La Mancha, M Butterfly, etc. etc. I didn't understand why they started doing more musical plays for children. Or maybe I wasn't paying that much attention to their season line-up? (Hmmm... what was I doing during this time in my life...???)

And now they are back in my life. Haha! Or shall I say, back in my mailbox and back in my line of vision...?
