Little Boy Productions brings to Cebu the Palanca award-winning play “Subtext,” on Saturday, September 2, at the SM Cinema 2, SM City Cebu. Funny and romantic, “Subtext” is a long-running hit, playing over 100 shows in various venues around Metro Manila and Luzon. This will be its first production in the Visayas and Mindanao. Little Boy Productions, headed by Executive Producer Hendri Go, began negotiations to “Subtext” with playwright Niel de Mesa two years ago and was finally granted the rights early this year. Audiences are sure to relate to this light-hearted comedy that shows communication and miscommunication between three couples in this modern age of texting and cell phones.
Directed by Bart Guingona, “Subtext” will feature Lou Veloso, Acey Aguilar, Mayen Estanero, Carme Sanchez, Tara Cabaero, and Robbie Guevara. Robbie Guevara, a veteran of Repertory Philippines, garnered rave reviews for his performance in the recent Cebu run of the musical “I Love You, You’re Perfect, Now Change.” He has also played the role of The Engineer in the UK tour of “Miss Saigon.” Lou Veloso (popularly known as Mister Truman) and Carme Sanchez (of GMA-7’s “Ang Mahiwagang Baul”) are familiar faces on Philippine television. Cebuano actors Mayen Estanero and Tara Cabaero are affiliated with CCP’s resident theater company, Tanghalang Pilipino. Rounding up the cast is promising newcomer Acey Aguilar, a recent high school graduate of Philippine High School for the Arts – Makiling.
