Addressing the needs of the residents in Alabang, Parañaque, Las Piñas and points further down south, the company is dedicated to providing quality family and educational entertainment for the communities in these areas.  Previous productions of “A Midsummer Night’s Dream”, “Rapunzel” and “Treasure Island” have been well received, and the company has already begun to have a regular following.
