by Oliver Oliveros - Oct 14, 2024

Renowned for her perfect pitch, Lea Salonga skipped lunch on tech week to entertain questions from a select media group about her new, unique project. She stars in “Request sa Radyo” (Request Concert), a play by Franz Xaver Kroetz about middle-class loneliness.

by Aliya Al-Hassan - Mar 17, 2022

by Tyler Peterson - Aug 26, 2015

Studio Theatre will inaugurate its Studio X series with Animal, a new play by British playwright Clare Lizzimore, commissioned for Studio's stage. "Clare is a director turned playwright whom I commissioned after reading her first play," says Artistic Director David Muse. "She has a tremendous theatrical imagination paired with an understanding of the subtle skill of actors to animate characters. Animal is an intimate and character-driven domestic drama, full of twists and humor. I've known GT Upchurch for years, and she has the craft and imagination to realize Clare's work in all its complexity and beauty."
