MANILA, Philippines - Trumpets is back in producing high-quality, musical productions that inspire, teach and entertain.
Its latest production? Another original musical for the enjoyment of the whole family — N.O.A.H. (No Ordinary Aquatic Habitat).
Trumpets retells the classic story of the Biblical patriarch and his famous ark with wit and humor, pathos and heart, hope and joy, of course, fun.
“Yes, we’re back,” says president Audie Gemora. “We’ve always worked toward producing shows that are of the highest production quality possible, are geared towards the family and, most importantly, espouse God’s messages of love and hope. And if ever there is a time we need hope, it is now and, if there ever were a story that best promises that hope, it is N.O.A.H.”
“We’ve always tried to put a modern take on what would otherwise be an ‘old’ story,” explains its writer and director Jaime del Mundo.
Originally produced and staged with puppets, the tale of a single man’s faith and obedience against seemingly insurmountable odds will now feature a cast of seasoned theater performers. Carlo Orosa heads the list as the jovial and staunchly devoted Noah. Star of West Ends’ South Pacific Sheila Francisco is the culinarily-challenged Mrs. Noah. They will be supported by an ensemble of the Philippines finest theater performers plus some new exciting talent.
N.O.A.H. opens at the Meralco Theater on Sept. 4 and will run till Sept. 27 with shows every weekend in between.
