PETA invites everyone to join its theater arts workshop. The
following courses are offered: Children's Theater 1 (6-8 years old),
Children's Theater 2 (9-12 years old), Teen Theater 1 (ages 13 to
17); Courses for ages 17 years old and above are: Theater Arts 1,
Theater Arts Production, Creative Musical Theater and Basic Acting.
The Children's Theater Production allows the kids to experience
creating stories, imagining scenes and interpreting characters from
folk tales, fairy tales and their own stories. An advanced course is
available for those who have undergone the children's theater courses
or its equivalent. Teen Theater explores the different styles of
experimental and alternative media, as well as the traditional forms
of art. Those who have previously taken this program may advance to
Teen Theater Production where the participants work on different
genres. Asian and Western theater traditions including the
Philippines will be discussed. Educators and drama club moderators
are offered three different courses: Children's Theater Production
and the Theater-in-Education series which has two modules, Creative
Pedagogy and Asian Theater. Classes will begin on April 10 at the
PETA Theater Center at #5 Sunnyside Drive, New Manila, behind the
Quezon City Sports Club. For details, call the PETA office at 725
