After making a name for herĀself as a bankable actress and product endorser, Marian Rivera is now to conquer another artisĀtic platform: Theater.
She is set to appear in a virtual adaptation of āOedipus Rex,ā as confirmed by writer and direcĀtor Katski Flores via Instagram, recently.
Posting a screenshot of a virtual group call that included the actress, she wrote, āThis is a launching pad. Welcome to the tribe, Marian Rivera! Enjoy and stay, will you?ā
Rivera replied with a curt: āMaraming salamat.ā
Yan Yuzon, who is also part of the play, expressed excitement with Riveraās participation.
He described Rivera as āone of the countryās greatest film and television actors.ā
ā(I am excited) to be a student with her and everyone else on this squad trying to learn how we might be able to bring the theater to the people in the midst of a great pandemic,ā he said.
Yuzon went on to reveal the play, titled āPassword: 03d1pu5_R3x,ā as staged by Tanghalang Ateneo, will be made available to the public via Zoom.
