Invite to “Theater Talk Atbp” on Oct. 27

Hey there, blogging lovers! (I’m assuming that those who watch The McVie Show are bloggers themselves, hehehe.)

Have you always been interested in theater but felt intimidated by the theaterati? Do your eyes—and your brain—glaze over when you hear words like “mimesis”, “pathos” and “upstaged”? Don’t know where “stage left” and “stage right” are?

Well, you don’t need to know any of those words to appreciate theater (knowing them won’t hurt, though). And who better to tell you that than someone who straddles the hifalutin’ world of theater and the industrial grime of showbiz—and flourishes in both!

PinoyCentric.com and ManilaGayGuy, with the help of Gibbs Cadiz, are inviting 20 bloggers to “Theater Talk Atbp,” with multi-awarded writer-director Floy Quintos. This informal, animated, and interactive chikahan session on theater appreciation will be on October 27, Saturday, 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the PLDT/Smart Exhibition Hall of the PETA Theater Center on 5 Sunnyside Drive, New Manila, Quezon City.

This is a rare opportunity for bloggers to learn from someone who has had extensive experience in theater, television, show business, and the arts.

This event is free, and you won’t starve (yes, there’s free merienda and there will be a raffle too!), but they only have slots for 20 bloggers, so head on over to this site and register. (In case the 20 slots have been filled, please register anyway; they’ll try to accommodate you when someone backs out at the last minute.)

The organizers have only one condition: click on the ads in my blog. I’m just kidding. Really. Their only condition is that you blog about this experience. They promise it will be priceless.

And maybe, just maybe, you might know the meaning of “mimesis”, “pathos” and “upstaged”, and find out the difference between “stage left” and “stage right”.

I will also be there, so if you wanna approach me to personally demand an apology about any of my previous posts… gudlak sa ‘yo. But I can explain what “mimesis”, “pathos”, “upstaged”, “stage left” and “stage right” mean.
