The best of this year’s theater have remained long after their bows and challenged our current paradigms of being, and were made by artists who are aware of the power of theater as a tool for humanity and transformation
A little over 10 years since Actor s Actors Inc. s The Necessary Theatre premiered John Logan s Tony Award-winning play Red in Asia, the theater company brings back the two-hander on stage. Bart Guingona still plays the abstract expressionist Mark Rothko, while JC Santos plays his fictional studio assistant Ken, originally played by Joaquin Valdes.
When The Necessary Theatre gathered the media to officially launch its 2023 production of John Logan’s Tony Award-winning play “Red,” its stars Bart Guingona and JC Santos, both raring to return on stage post-pandemic, they also unveiled the production’s official show image or poster.
Bart Guingona and JC Santos return to the stage in The Necessary Theatre's critically acclaimed production of RED, coming to Manila's PETA Theater Center this June 2023.
