The Philippine Educational Theater Association (PETA) is holding their summer theater workshops online in 2021, giving kids and teens an opportunity to get creative even as they wait out the pandemic at home.

The workshops will take place over 5 interactive sessions done via Zoom, with several courses open to participants aged 7 to 17. Workshops open on May 24.

The following courses are available:

  • Children’s Theater (for kids ages 7 to 12)
  • Acting for Teens (for teens aged 13 to 17
  • Musical Theater for Teens (for teens aged 13 to 17
  • Writing for Performance – Teens (for teens aged 13 to 17)

Course fees range from P3,500 to P4,000. More information on each course can be found on social media. PETA is also giving away two slots to eligible participants, via their Instagram page.

Those interested in joining the workshop can enroll via their enrollment page, or contact PETA directly by calling 09298919538 or emailing betitasarmiento@petatheater.com. Registration opened on April 4, and continues on a first come, first served basis until slots are full.

PETA is one of the Philippines’ top theater groups, and is known for staging plays that raise awareness on various social issues. It celebrated its 50th year in 2017, and in the same year was awarded the prestigious Ramon Magsaysay Award – said to be Asia’s version of the Nobel Prize.

Some of its plays in recent years include Rak of Aegis, A Game of Trolls, Charot, and Care Divas. – Rappler.com
