Philantropic theater company Philippine Stagers Foundation (PSF) is approaching the last leg of its Philippine tour of bookwriter and lyricist Atty. Vincent Tañada and composer Pipo Cifra's more recent stage collaboration BONIFACIO: ISANG SARSWELA from today, February 7 until Sunday, March 16. The original Filipino musical premiered in July 2013 at Tanghalang Pasigueño, and has been on the road for more than six months, garnering a total of 424 performances so far, a feat similar to PSF's previous national touring productions of 'Cory ng EDSA' and 'Joe: A Filipino Rock'sical.'

Philippine Stagers Foundation or Stagers ('Cory ng Edsa,' 'Joe, The Filipino Rock'sical') celebrates the 150th birth date of Andres Bonifacio, one of the Philippines' greatest heroes, in 'Bonifacio: Isang Sarsuwela.' The new musical's world premiere is set Friday, July 19, at Tanghalang Pasigueño.

Vincent M. Tanada, Philippine Stagers Foundation's (PSF) artistic director and writer/director of the theater company's latest production, 'Bonifacio: Isang Sarswela,' tells entertainment journalist Robert Silverio that 'Bonifacio,' which is a tribute to Philippine hero Andres Bonifacio (1863-1897), is Tanada's darkest play so far.

Philippine Stagers Foundation, the creator of original Filipino musicals 'Cory ng EDSA' and 'Enzo Santo,' comes up with another captivating production in 'Joe: The Filipino Rock'sical,' which opened last weekend at St. Cecilia's Auditorium, St. Scholastica's College, and will continue to run there on Saturday, July 21, and on Sunday, July 22, and at the Tanghalang Pasigueño on Sunday, July 29.

2011 BroadwayWorld.com (BWW) Philippines Awards' runaway winner, the Philippine Stagers Foundation, opened its newest theatrical offering, "JOE: The Filipino Rock'sical," an original Filipino rock musical that deconstructs the ideologies of the Philippines' national hero, Jose Rizal, last weekend at St. Cecilia's Auditorium, St. Scholastica's College

The launch of the Northern Philippines tour of Cory ng EDSA, a new musical based on the life and times of the nation's icon of democracy, former President Corazon Aquino, couldn't have been more timely considering the country is commemorating the 25th anniversary of the 1986 EDSA People Power Revolution this year.
