It is a story written by Gina Marissa Tagasa-Gil. Including different characters that portray the different sins of the people, the story is about reconciliation and forgiveness. The only way to save your soul from hell is to forgive.

Some of the characters are: a prostitute who sells unworthy acts to save her own life, a pastor who collects money from the church to be wealthy, a battered woman who killed her husband, a drug addict and a young lady who aborted her baby to escape responsibility. Everyone is in danger for it was their final judgement. And there is only one question, who will be saved?

I was invited to watch the play and had a chance to talk to the casts. The director asked me to share some tips on how to build a good character on stage. Since I was a former actor of that theater group, it wasn't hard for me to comunicate with the new actors who will be staging Sirkulo: Ang Simula. Me and my friend Jong gave a 15 minute one-on-one workshop on each actor to prepare them before their performance. We shared the most important thing to know when acting and that is CLARITY - make sure that the audience can understand what you are saying and emotions and gestures are clearly expressed. Modulation of voice is also important. You should also be aware of your audience. Be sensitive and always connect with them. Well, these are only few of the things to know but they are the most important for me when your are acting on stage.
