A story of identity, love, and the choices that shape our lives.

Mad Child Productions closes its third season with BOY, Anna Ziegler’s thought-provoking play exploring identity, self-discovery, and the lasting consequences of decisions made for others.

A decade after portraying the titular character in the play’s 2016 Philippine staging, Cholo Ledesma returns to BOY—this time as director.

The production stars Zoë de Ocampo as Adam and Topper Fabregas as Dr. Wendell Barnes, alongside Jam Binay, Toni Go-Yadao, and Marvin Ong.

Inspired by the real-life story of David Reimer, BOY follows a young man navigating love and identity while confronting the consequences of a life-altering decision made during his childhood.

EL FUEGO DEL ALMA IS COMING TO MAKATI!

Following a largely sold-out run, Porvenir’s Filipino adaptation of Tennessee Williams’ Summer and Smoke is heading to Circuit Makati for eight special benefit performances this October.

Translated by award-winning playwright Eljay Castro Deldoc and directed by Mark Mirando, El Fuego del Alma explores the tension between desire and restraint, and the lives we are expected to lead versus the ones we secretly long for.

The production reunites its original cast in a reimagined staging designed specifically for its new 100-seat venue at Art Directed Studio.

Presented by Porvenir in partnership with ArtDirected as part of Circuit Makati’s ARTOber celebration.
