NEXUS Production

A great play was performed, laughter were heard, tears fell, exhaustion was felt, but everything was worth it!💖

It wasn't perfect and yet everyone did a commendable job, down to every minute detail! Despite the oopsies made in the play, the cast has shown tremendous effort in improvising the scenes, which was a sight to see! The set designers made sure every scene was captured! A huge thanks as well to our Speech and Theater Arts teacher, Mrs. Joy Aguilar!

Both the cast and crew deserve a huge congratulations!💖

Here are some aftermath pictures from yesterday's great play:

From the Director,
Katrina Ricci G. Rodriguez💖

✨Good day, theatergoers!✨

From the bottom of my heart, thank you so much for supporting us and witnessing our play! Without the wonderful audience's presence for today, all of this would've been impossible. Family, friends, faculty, and other students who came in support for today, your kindess knows no bounds! On behalf of the BSE 2A - English, thank you for lending your time!

To my talented actors and actresses, they were able to portray such unique, wacky, but intricate characters. They have truly executed a heart-touching and natural performance, no matter how small or big the role!

To my witty set designers, it wasn't easy using our creativity and put it into work so that we were able to produce such detailed props and decorations. They have done well in executing swift but smooth transitions. Despite the sacrifices made and tears produced, I am truly more than contented!

To my wonderful publicity managers, they have done an outstanding job in promoting this play and gave the exposure and attention we all needed for our performance for today. They also did incredible in managing this page!

To my fantastic costume designers and make-up artists, they have truly given justice to the characters' charm and aura. They made our cast shine and stand out through fashion and beauty!

To my sweet choreographer, he did a praise-worthy job in developing dance numbers and improving their steps. He also did a fine job in helping others portray their roles!

To my silly stage manager, she has done commendable work in guiding our fellow set designers. Despite the class experiencing adversity, she remained tenacious throughout the entire practice process up until the final performance!

To my dear playwright/script writer, she showed perseverance and creativity when writing the play's script with me. Despite the exhaustion felt and in under pressure, she remained a great leader as well, whether or not I am around. She also did more than just a good job in writing for our daily sneak peeks!

To my funny assistant director & sound director, she did a great job in assisting me throughout. She kept being level-headed when things got hard and never failed to put a smile on one's face even if it was a bad joke or not. She is a fantastic assistant director and I couldn't ask for anyone else who is more fitting for the role!

Congratulations to everyone, not just for BSE-2A but for BSE-2B as well! All of our struggles, pain, and sacrifices were not in vain as we all gave it our all! Let this be a memory and experience, one that anyone won't forget.💖

This has been Director Katrina Ricci G. Rodriguez, signing off!

The hauntingly, beautiful vows of our nervous wreck of a groom reach the ears of the Co**se Bride, there a damsel emerges from the Earth in all her spooky charm and undead glory, assuming she's finally found her one true love once the ring was obliviously slipped on her bony finger. Dead-icated, the Co**se Bride eloped with him to her wacky world of the ghouls and the departed.

As our beloved groom found himself engaged to a drop dead beauty on accident, he is going to find any means necessary to get out of this bone-chilling relationship and return to his lady above.

Two marriages, two brides, and one groom who would try to sort the misunderstanding he created. However, everything will spiral down from there as he will have to make the choice soon, whether he chooses to be with the living or to be with the departed.

Stay tuned, theatergoers!
