Lea Salonga Instagram – In preparation for its premiere at the Samsung Performing Arts Theater (@cpatofficial) this October, ‘Request sa Radyo’ held its rehearsals in New York, culminating to a jovial gathering of some of the most accomplished creatives and respected art proponents from the Filipino community
Request sa Radyo, a Filipino play based on Franz Kroetz’s acclaimed theatrical piece Wunschkonzert, is set to be performed this October 10 to 20 at the Samsung Performing Arts Theater under the direction of Bobby Garcia. Featuring Tony Award and Laurence Olivier Award-winning actor #LeaSalonga and BAFTA and Golden Globe-nominated actor #DollydeLeon, the play explores emotions commonly felt by overseas Filipino workers and tackles the complexities of loneliness in this day and age.
As the play hits closer to the hearts of the Filipino community in the diaspora, Garcia shares more of his insights from the recently concluded rehearsals. “We have been tackling the themes of isolation and vulnerability while at rehearsals. So it’s refreshing to get together and connect with a community of creatives who know the feeling all too well,” he says. “Let’s all continue striving and supporting Filipino artistry,” he adds.
