tds

Theater Down South is one of the newer entries into the country’s burgeoning theater scene and the only one that caters specifically to audiences in the South Metro area. 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. This has been boosted by the company’s Summer Theater Workshops, now in their third year, and also by their special holiday shows and events.
The company also has a strong educational component which they promote through their children’s shows and curriculum based productions. These shows feature thematic lobby exhibits, which provide pertinent historical and literary information about them. These exhibits contribute to a more immersive experience for the audience members, and help them gain a deeper understanding of what they are about to see. With “A Midsummer Night’s Dream”, for instance, a 3D replica of the Globe Theater was on display along with a graphic chart outlining the relationships of the characters in the play.
