‘Para Kay B’ returns

Ricky Lee’s best-selling novel, Para Kay B, whose story that left audiences in tears and laughter, will return for a limited rerun from September 12 to 28 at The Doreen Black Box Theater, Ateneo De Manila University.

Based on the National Artist’s  ground-breaking first novel, Para Kay B dares to ask the unflinching question: “Sa limang umiibig, isa lang ba talaga ang p’wedeng maging maligaya?” The play weaves together five interconnected love stories, each exploring the beauty, chaos, and heartbreak of loving and being loved. Audiences can expect raw, unfiltered performances, lines that feel eerily personal, and moments that will have them whispering, “Wait lang, ako ‘to ah…”    Produced by LA ProdHouse and Fire and Ice LIVE!, the production is spearheaded by director Yong Tapang, Jr., who is also one of the producers alongside Lambert Angeles, Voltaire de Jesus, Liza Diño, and Ice Seguerra. This creative team, backed by an equally formidable crew of designers, choreographers, and stage managers, promises a rerun that will not only match but deepen the emotional impact of its first sold-out run.

Following its critically praised premiere, which played to packed houses and rave word-of-mouth, the rerun introduces new layers, fresh casting, and the reopening of old wounds for both characters and audiences.

“What makes Para Kay B’s theatrical rerun exciting is the addition of our new cast. Each new actor will bring an interesting flavor not just to the production but to the whole storytelling as well,” director Tapang said in a statement.

“Some of our new cast members were able to do Para Kay B even before it was fully staged. It will be a totally different experience from the previous run.”

The powerhouse cast includes Mario Magallona, Ava Santos, Liza Diño, Maria Alilia “Mosang” Bagio, Martha Comia, Sarah Garcia, Via Antonio, Phi Palmos, and more, supported by an exceptional creative team including Playwright Eljay Castro Deldoc, Creative Consultant Phi Palmos, Choreographer Kirby Dunnzell, Technical Director Yabs, Costume Designer Raven Ong, and Set Designer Julia Pacificador.

Tickets are available via Ticket2Me.
