One of the best things to come out of this website is the honor and privilege to have my work used by students in the Philippines to explore the theatre arts. I know I’ve been “scolded” by others for not charging schools for using my plays, but I just don’t feel right by having a barrier to a STUDENT needing to tell a story be the cost. That said, if a professional company wants to do my work, I’d love to be compensated! lol.
Here are some of the plays that have been used: Ang Palengke, Bang Bang Clap, Devoted, Esperanza Means Hope, Garden of Dreams, Holed Up at the Delta, Inay’s Wedding Dress, Jo-perdy, MamaSiHero, River’s Message, Standing Over Pajaro, Sunshine’s Last Wish, The Family Fructuoso, The Gift, The Rope That Binds, The Ultimate Revenge for a Man Named Stan, Thicker than Wine, and WELGA
