Kabataan, pag-asa nga ba ng bayan?
This was the question the rock musical play βKabataan Ngayon, Pag-asa ng Bayan?β wanted the audience to answer when it was staged on October 23 at the Ramon J. Guico Sr. Sports and Civic Center.
Written and directed by freelance veteran actor, director and scriptwriter Lawrence Roxas, the play depicts the story of a young neglected son who droppedΒ out of school and found company and comfort among his peers. Unfortunately, he found the wrong company who luredΒ him into various vices like smoking, drinking, drugs, and the like.
The play, with redemption in the ending, alsoΒ shows the incidence of hazing, a very timely and significant issue nowadays.
Watched by students from the Juan G. Macaraeg National High School, University of Eastern Pangasinan, WCC Aeronautical and Technological College, and some elementary students, βKabataan Ngayon, Pag-asa ng Bayan?β is now on its 19th season theatre season.
