‘Dedma’ Twin Bill with ‘The Foxtrot’ and ‘Let’s Do Lunch’ to be Staged this March
After a series of reruns of their production of Juan Ekis’ Twenty Questions, Theatre Titas is set to stage two original plays this summer with Dedma–a twin bill that explores the delicate relationships of Manila’s elite, the choices they make, and the masks they wear.
Dedma will feature two original scripts: Let’s Do Lunch and The Foxtrot, both penned by Theatre Titas’ co-founder, Chesie Galvez-Cariño.
Let’s Do Lunch follows a catch-up between two old friends, Val and Issa, played by Naths Everett and Issa Litton, respectively. The tête-à-tête quickly deteriorates as the power dynamics between them shift from pleasantries to passive aggression. Also in the cast is Ash Nicanor as the househelp, Bebang. The play will be directed by Maribel Legarda.
The Foxtrot was first performed last June at Tanghalang Ignacio Gimenez (CCP Black Box Theater) as part of last year’s Virgin Labfest. The play gives audiences a glimpse into the taut relationship between Diego, a dance instructor, and Anna, a wealthy matron, during their final rehearsal for an amateur ballroom dancing competition. The production stars JC Santos, reprising his role as Diego, and Jackie Lou Blanco, who takes on the role of Anna. Paul Alexander Morales returns to direct.
Dedma will run weekends from March 28 to April 13, 2025, at Mirror Studio Theatre 2, with 8 PM performances on Fridays through Sundays and 3 PM matinées on Saturdays and Sundays.
Tickets will be available starting March 3, 2025, for P1,000 at teeq.live.
