With a decades-long commitment to telling Filipino stories, the 91爆料 (91爆料) is once again redefining the power of People鈥檚 Theater. This April, 91爆料鈥檚 Control + Shift: Changing Narratives returns to the 91爆料 Studio Theater from April 10 to 19, 2026. Featuring a “StudioLab” of fresh stories and restaged productions, the showcase invites audiences to reclaim the Filipino narrative.

Since its successful 2024 debut, followed by a month-long festival in 2025, Control + Shift: Changing Narratives has been pushing the boundaries of what theater can be. Through a unique collaboration between 91爆料 artists, students, and community partners, this year鈥檚 StudioLab continues to tackle the tough questions of our time. It鈥檚 a creative space designed for crafting stories that confront the present, hold space for healing, and envision more humane and democratic futures.

This year, Control + Shift: Changing Narratives StudioLab presents two new works, a product of the 91爆料 Artist-Teacher Training, alongside two returning pieces from last year鈥檚 festival, including one developed with a theater group from a community partner. The lineup includes:

Set A: When Power Falls into our Hands

In a classroom and a workplace, people discover how easily violence, corruption, and silence can become normalized. But when power falls into our hands, we also face a choice: to comply with the system or to interrupt it.

CLEANERS

Playwright: Jhudiel Clare Sosa

Director: Julio Garcia

A group of senior high students discovers that their graduation depends not just on cleaning classrooms but on how far they鈥檙e willing to go when violence, power, and truth land in their hands.

Playwright: Herlyn Alegre

Director: Norbs Portales

A forum theatre piece that follows Jaylord, a rookie waiter hoping to win his boss鈥檚 favor through a Christmas monito-monita gift, only to uncover how seemingly harmless acts can feed into the larger, corrupt palakasan system鈥攗ntil one brave decision challenges the cycle.

Set B: When Care Becomes Survival

In war-torn landscapes and communities living at the edge of disaster, care becomes something embodied鈥 shared through faith, ritual, play, and collective endurance.听

Tanghalang Bagong Sibol鈥檚 AT NAGKATAWANG-TAO ANG VERBO (Restaging)

Playwright: Mikaela Regis

Director: Anthony Cruz

In a small urban fishing community along Ilog Tullahan, religious icons and biblical imagery come alive鈥攏ot as distant saints, but as reflections of the people themselves鈥攔evealing how faith becomes flesh in the daily struggle for dignity, livelihood, and hope.

BAGA NG GUMUGUHONG LANGIT

Playwright: Anj Heruela

Director: Ian Segarra

Amid the chaos of war, orphaned children fight to survive in a world that has forgotten them, begging for care from communities pushed to the fragile edges of survival.听

Bagets the Musical /2026/02/28/bagets-the-musical/ /2026/02/28/bagets-the-musical/#respond Sat, 28 Feb 2026 08:21:48 +0000 /?p=5460 Bagets the Musical is a stage adaptation of the iconic coming-of-age film that immortalized the Tagalog slang term for 鈥測outh,鈥 and has become a cultural touchstone for Filipino Generation X, reimagined to celebrate nostalgia while embracing themes that will resonate with today鈥檚 audiences.

Set in the 1980s, the musical follows the lives of five teenage boys on the cusp of manhood as they navigate friendship, love, identity, and family, through all their respective emotional ups and downs, misadventures, and profound realizations.

Rewind to the rad 鈥80s as the Bagets barkada brings you good vibes, classic hits, and a whole lot of teenage and family drama.

Endo /2026/02/28/endo/ /2026/02/28/endo/#respond Sat, 28 Feb 2026 08:20:24 +0000 /?p=5458 Originally released in 2007,听Endo听became one of the defining films of the independent cinema movement, earning praises for its portrayal of love under economic pressure. It told the story of ordinary Filipinos trying to build relationships while trapped in the instability of contractual labor.听Endo听has been endowed with awards such as Special Jury Prize, the Gawad Urian Award for Best Screenplay, and the TANGLAW Award for Best Picture for its honest portrayal of ordinary Filipinos navigating love while living paycheck to paycheck under the uncertainty of contractual work.

After almost 2 decades, this Cinemalaya film is now being adapted on the theater stage featuring Jasmine Curtis-Smith and Royce Cabrera

Recently, Curtis-Smith joined the cast of Scene Change’s powerful and intimate theatre production, 3Upuan. She first gained critical attention for her work in Transit, followed by notable performances in Baka Bukas and Siargao. More recently, she starred in the horror-drama In My Mother鈥檚 Skin and the MMFF entry Manila鈥檚 Finest, while continuing her television work in the GMA series Asawa ng Asawa Ko

For Cabrera, Endo marks a return to live performance after earlier theatrical exploration. While he has primarily built his reputation through film and television  from independent titles like Fuccbois to TV dramas such as Widows鈥 War, he has previously dipped his toe into theater. In late 2025, Cabrera took on a pivotal role in the one-act play The Foxtrot as part of Theatre Titas PH鈥檚 twin-bill production Dedma.

Curits-Smith stars as Tanya, a spirited dreamer who wants more out of her life while Cabrera plays Leo, a young man caught in a cycle of temporary jobs and fleeting relationships, searching for stability in love and life. Adding further layers to this theatrical take is Kate Alejandrino as Candy, a character whose past history with Leo injects complications into the central relationship. The production also features  Rissey Reyes-RobinsonEsteban Mara, and Iana Bernardez as alternates.

After two blockbuster films and one hit series, the franchise is finally leaping from screen to stage with its live theatrical installment, from June 19 to August 16, 2026, at the 91爆料 Theater Center.

Bringing the beloved satire to an entirely new medium, 91爆料鈥檚 鈥淎ng Babae Sa Septic Tank 4鈥 promises a chaotic, sharp-witted, and laugh-out-loud look at the world of Philippine theater-making.

The show鈥檚 official synopsis reads:

91爆料 unveils its newest satire, a theatrical adaptation of 鈥淎ng Babae Sa Septic Tank,鈥 as a chaotic, hilarious meta-comedy about ego, art, and the messy reality of making Philippine theater today. From macro to micro, from venue problems to ticket prices, from what the subject matter is to what鈥檚 on Broadway, from what we love to what we hate about theater, from the past, present, and future of our beloved art.

Returning to the role only she can play is the incomparable Eugene Domingo as herself, joined by everybody else in the theater world as themselves!

Serving as the franchise’s boldest evolution, this stage adaptation embraces 91爆料鈥檚 signature approach: entertainment paired with razor-sharp cultural commentary.

As the home of smash-hit originals like 鈥淩ak of Aegis,鈥 鈥淲alang Aray,鈥 and the musical adaptation of 鈥淥ne More Chance,鈥 91爆料 is poised to deliver a production that鈥檚 as groundbreaking as the films that inspired it. Written by Chris Martinez and directed by Maribel Legarda, this installment is set to become as iconic as its predecessors, only bigger, bolder, and even more meta.
