Show dates: February 1
Where: 5/F The Mirror Theatre Studios, Makati

Four plays, four consecutive Sundays—united under a single theme. Now in its sixth season, the Company of Actors in Streamlined Theatre (CAST PH) returns with its annual staged readings, this year anchored on RE-ORIENT: Narratives from Asian Voices.


Across four weeks, the selected plays explore what it means to be Asian in an increasingly complex global landscape. Starring some of the country's best thespians like Dolly de Leon, Kakki Teodoro, Jenny Jamora, Jillian Ita-as, Mikkie Bradshaw-Volante, Mayen Bustamante-Cadd, among others, expect sharp, thoughtful takes on cultural assimilation, love for country, unquestioning familial obedience, and the act of reclaiming Eastern narratives, all tackled with intelligence, humanity, and a lot of humor.


For February, the last play under CAST PH's RE-ORIENT: Narratives from Asian Voices staged readings will run on February 1.


As is tradition, play titles will not be revealed, but here's the schedule of performers and writers on deck this week:


February 1: Play #4 will be directed by Caisa Borromeo.
The cast features Jillian Ita-as, Kakki Teodoro, George Schulze, Yanah Laurel, Alfredo Reyes, and Miren Alvarez-Fabregas.

Les Misérables World Tour Spectacular

Show dates: January 20 to March 1
Where: Theatre at Solaire


Les Misérables is back, not in its usual musical staging but as the Les Misérables: World Tour Spectacular, happening at The Theatre at Solaire from January 20 to February 15, 2026.


Unlike the usual full-production stagings, Les Misérables: World Tour Spectacular is a hybrid production designed for larger venues and fitted with enhanced set and lighting designs similar to a concert experience. It still keeps the original story and music intact, just packaged with a bit of extra pomp and flair. 


This Les Mis World Tour—originally titled as Les Misérables: Arena Spectacular—reimagines and expands the Les Misérables: The Staged Concert by bringing with it a slew of over 100 international and Filipino talent, performing Boublil and Schönberg’s score and iconic songs, including I Dreamed a Dream, On My Own, One Day More, and more.

Show dates: February 14 to March 8
Where: Power Mac Center Spotlight Black Box Theater, Circuit Makati

From the folks behind Anino Sa Likod Ng Buwan—IdeaFirst Live!—comes another play strictly for mature audiences. About Us But Not About Us is the stage adaptation of the award-winning 2023 Jun Robles Lana film of the same title. This intense psychological drama zeroes in on a tense, emotionally loaded lunch between Eric, a literature professor, and Lancelot, his student, months after the suicide of Eric’s partner, Marcus. What begins as a seemingly casual meet-up slowly unravels into a web of dark secrets and buried lies, revealing the complicated—and often painful—history between the three men. As their conversation unfolds, the play digs into guilt, ambition, and identity, drawing the audience deeper into the chilling truth behind Marcus’s death.


It stars Romnick Sarmenta, Elijah Canlas, Epy Quizon, Andoy Ranay, Herbie Go, Geraldine Villamil, Jack Denzel Gaza, Noel Rayos, and Jao Catarus, and is directed by Tuxqs Rutaquio.


Tickets to About Us But Not About Us start at P2,800. Get yours via Ticket2me.
