Cross out one of those notes on your bucket list by experiencing the theater stage through Philippine Educational Theater Association (PETA). PETA urges young professionals to make their weekends count with “Workshop Weekends”. The program encourages students and professionals to put their show face on and drop their paperwork (at least during the weekend) to work on their dreams of becoming a stage performer.

With “Workshop Weekends”, enrollees are given the chance to reach for the stars and discover who they truly are through artistic performance. Theater is not only about expressing oneself through drama and acting but it can also pave the way to achieving a new perspective on things.
