Something exciting comes in celebration of LGBT Pride Month.
Ice Seguerra and Liza Diño are to star in a groundbreaking play titled “Choosing (Not A Straight Play),” as directed by Anton Juan.
It will take place at the Power Mac Spotlight Blackbox Theater, Circuit, Makati, from June 29 to July 7.
“Choosing (Not A Straight Play)” promises to deliver a compelling narrative on love beyond conventional gender boundaries.
Written by Liza, with additional monologues by Ice, the play draws from their journey as individuals and as a couple, interposed with a collection of LGBTQIA+ stories gathered over the years.
Asked to describe the play, Liza said, “It is, at its most basic, a heartfelt exploration of identity, love, and the courage to be true to oneself.”
“But we’re not just telling a story; we’re sharing a part of our souls with the audience,” she added. “It’s about the raw, sometimes painful journey to find not just love but acceptance and happiness within oneself and in the eyes of society.”
Choosing the Power Mac Spotlight Blackbox Theater as venue underscores the play’s commitment to accessibility with both matinee and evening shows scheduled to cater to diverse audiences.
Tickets are priced accordingly.
“We aim to reach as many people as possible in the hopes that it would spark discussions and foster understanding around gender identity and sexual orientation,” said Liza.
“My hope is that this play will break barriers to understanding the individual experience of people from the LGBTQIA+ community. Through these stories and shared experiences, we’ll realize that we have more commonalities than differences,” Ice said, reflecting on the play’s mission to promote inclusivity.
“‘Choosing’ is not just about Ice and Liza; it’s about embracing the unseen and unheard stories of the LGBTQIA+ community and finding a space to explore the struggles they face in society and the complexities of this experience. The play is for those who need to understand their identity, sexuality, and how, at the apex of it all, is choosing because of love—whether that’s love for yourself or your loved ones,” said Anton.
