CCP’s Triple Threat Concert Series started back in 2013 with the title Triple Threats: Leading Men and Women in Philippine Musical Theater. The first 3 artists who were featured in their very own solo concerts at the CCP Little Theater were theater stalwarts Nonie Buencamino, Audie Gemora, and Menchu Lauchengco-Yulo. In 2014, the series came back with the same theme, this time featuring Sheila Francisco, Michael Williams, and Bituin Escalante. In 2015, the title was changed to Triple Threats: Composers, highlighting 3 of today’s best Filipino composers: Jesse Lucas, Vincent de Jesus, and Rony Fortich.
