“Tagu-taguan” by PETA Returns for a Limited Run
PETA’s original musical, Tagu-taguan, Nasaan Ang Buwan?, returns for a limited run this November 20-December 6 (with 10am and 3pm shows) at the PETA Theater Center.
Written by J-mee Katanyag and directed by Dudz Teraña (who also serves as choreographer), the production will now be on its 3rd run, having first opened in August 2017.
