Philippine Educational Theater Association

Manila


This ‘open’ theatre group does both comedy and tragedy, most of it original. Arguably Manila’s best troupe, but check whether performances are in English. The 10am shows, when happening, are geared to children. Also hosts festivals and workshops.
