Not so long ago I became a part of an annual Lenten Presentation in our Church. A theater play with the story written and performed by the youth of the Parish to be presented for the entire local community.

This year’s play was Entitled “Bayan Umawit! The Musical”. So from the title, basically the play was a musical. Where the characters sings and dance a lot. That was the plot twist to me.

Because honestly I don’t sing and dance. Yes, btw. I was a part. Luckily. I auditioned just hoping for a minor role just to experience how it feels to be in a larger production. Both fortunately and unfortunately I was accepted to play a major Role- Pindong.

Pindong the right hand of the farmer's leader. He is a very kind caring son, an opposite of his brother Agoy. Pindong despite of the support of his mother, and everyone in town, still doubt himself and fear that he will never be enough.

At the moment I was so worried, happy and everything… I just don’t know how to do it.Until I realize that was the Director’s job. And in the rehearsal, I learned almost everything about the play and how to do it.

Until the Big Day.

For some previews, here are my Favorite scenes with I played with.
