I got an email this morning from Tanghalang Pilipino about this summer's CCP workshops. This is what caught my attention...

An introductory course to events, production and stage and events management including the management of musical theater productions.

The course is designed for participants seeking entry level careers in stage, production and events management. Ed Murillo is the leading stage manager in the country. He has had extensive experience as a Stage Manager both here and abroad.

OOoooh, I've always wanted to attend one of Sir Edmu's workshops. And heck, this would really help a lot. But gah... my plans this summer are pretty fuzzy.

But of course, there are still the lecture series. These are the ones I want to attend...

I'm still not sure about the first lecture, but you'll bet I'll be there at the other two, hahahaha. Bobby, the diva director, giving a lecture on directing? Can't wait... Plus I want to try directing too. But, not soon, I hope, hahahaha... And of course, one of my dreams is to produce my own show, so I really want to attend Tito Audie's talk.
