Sa bawat guhit, may binura.
Sa bawat salita, may itinago.
At sa bawat katahimikan… may gustong aminin.

May pangalang paulit-ulit mong babasahin, hanggang sa hindi mo na alam kung siya ba ay isang karakter o guni-guning pinaglalaruan ang iyong isip.

Hindi lahat ng draft, mananatiling lihim.

Para sa kaniyang ika-48 taon, inihahandog ng Teatro Tomasino ang “Marissa”. Sa panulat ni Dr. Isagani R. Cruz at sa direksyon ni Angel Ocampo. Isang dulang sumasalamin sa papel ng isang manunulat sa lipunan at sa patuloy na paghahanap ng katotohan at pagkakakilanlan. 🎭
