Guang Ming College - Cebu

The homecoming delivered on all fronts. Every choice led to an immersive experience, from the vibrant set design, the jangling wardrobe, and the laser-precise hair and makeup. Even in the more interactive moments that should have broken the immersion (you’ll never guess how Bini made their way into the dialogue), the show remained spellbinding, intimate, and highly charming.

Thank you, Cebu State Magazine for this wonderful article! 🙏🏻

SHOW FOR TODAY 🎭 at Guang Ming College - Cebu

🇵🇭 Siddhartha: The Music by Siddhartha Theater Ensemble at 8:00pm at Siddhartha Theater, Guang Ming College

Siddhartha: The Musical

The musical is based on the book The Biography of the Sakyamuni Buddha by the Fo Guang Shan (FGS) founder Venerable Master Hsing Yun. The play revolves around Prince Siddhartha who was born 2,600 years ago in the ancient city in India—Kapilavastu. At birth, a seer prophesied that Prince Siddhartha would either be a skilled leader like his father or a great spiritual teacher. Upon hearing this, King Suddhodana did everything in his power to ensure the kingship of his son. Yet the young prince renounced his royal status and luxurious life to seek enlightenment.

Don’t miss these beautiful plays!

Earlier today at The Siddhartha Theater at Guang Ming College - Cebu!

“Kasing Sining from Bohol captivates hearts with 'Atong Kasultian', a poignant performance delving into the struggles of youth: self-acceptance, self-doubt, the grind to survive, comparison, and familial control. Through the resonating melodies of 'Usahay', they weave tales that echo in the audience's souls.”

Siddhartha Theater was filled with laughter from Teatro Biliran's hilarious take on the chaos of war!

First line up of captivating performances this morning is from Artista Silimaniana & Teatro Tayo.
