Super proud to share my new play, WE WILL RIDE, a short one-act inspired by the 1899 Filipino Rough Riders. Ysidora Alcantara, Felix Alcantara, and Geronimo Inocensio, who were recruited from the Philippines in 1899 by Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show to tour America. 

After seeing the performances by Mari Joy, Renzo Vicente, and Rich Adrian Lazatin, under the direction of Noella Bonsol, I'm more determined to turn it into a full-length piece! I'm so grateful to Festival Director, Mikael Silan and Artistic Director, RJ Silva, and Stage Manager, Alishiana Uyao for producing this really inspiring and motivating Festival. Also truly fortunate to be part of this week's presentation with the plays by Annemarie Andaleon and Tim Pintado!

Week 1's Line Up ends tomorrow, Sunday, Sept 12, so if you haven't caught it yet, see you tomorrow! And Week 2's shows of new plays runs between Sept 24 - 27 including an adapted excerpt of CRIERS FOR HIRE by @thegiovanniortega So catch that too!!!

Oh, after tomorrow's show, you're invited to stick around where I'll share parts of my book, "WELGA, A Filipiino American Playwright's Journey," which will be available for sale. I brought a limited amount of copies to sell and SIGN! taken in Rizal Center by @gingerenergy
