The Far Eastern University Theater Guild,
being the oldest theater organization in Manila's University Belt has already
established a solid reputation not just in the metropolis but other parts of
the Philippines for productions like “Confessions”, “Usapang X”, “Ang
Pinakamakisig na Nalunod sa Buong Daigdig”, “Kung Paano Maghiwalay”, “Halu
Halo”, and laboratory productions such as Saltik and Tamdula.
Closing the organization’s 89th theater
season, the FTG proudly presents
Tamdula VI: Love-Oratory, a series of eight monologues on love ranging from the
romantic and sexual to the intimate and familial.

stage designing, stage management, marketing, and branding.

experience inside and outside of the organization. They are directly guided by the
FTG’s artistic director, Dudz Teraña.
