An Open Letter to Pinoy Teenagers from Ronan Capinding

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Tanghalang Ateneo's soon-to-open play Glenn Sevilla Mas's "Rite of Passage: Sa Pagtubu kang Tahud (An adaptation of a Kinaray-a short story by Maria Milagros Geremia Lachica). The play has a lot of beautiful insights about 'growing up --- from puberty to adolescence and manhood. The play is 'For Mature Audiences' so expect a lot of sensitive but interesting topics from the story.

The play was first produced by Tanghalang Pilipino for the Virgin Labfest, the Cultural Center of the Philippines' annual festival of new plays in 2005. A book version was also produced by the UST Publishing House in 2005.

The open letter below was written by Ronan Capinding, the director of Rite of Passage and upon reading its message, it is best that we share this to you so it will likewise be re-shared and read by the Pinoy teenagers today.

Once again, we are reminding our readers to kindly please watch RITE OF PASSAGE.

Play Dates:

Nov. 27, 28, 29 -- 7 pm.
Dec. 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 11, 12, 13 -- 7 pm
