Here’s a little snippet of the captivating story of - Ang Aking Ritmo: My Own Rhythm which will take you to a journey of self-discovery.

Synopsis:
Abbie, a 20-year old student from SFSU has always had trouble pleasing her mom, Imelda. Her mom has only ever wanted her to go to school and graduate as a nurse, but Abbie’s true passion lies in dancing.
To add more fuel to the fire, Abbie’s cousin, Princess, whom Imelda always compares her to, is visiting for vacation from the Philippines.
Abbie must juggle her mother’s criticism and her cousin’s sudden arrival, but things seem to get even worse as Abbie’s 21st birthday approaches...

Don’t miss the chance to witness the drama, the laughter and the rhythm of Filipino culture all in one show!
