The Rep Eastwood Theater is located on the fourth floor of Eastwood Citywalk and is set to usher in a brand new chapter for the fabled Repertory Philippines, which was founded in 1967 and has built an unparalleled reputation for its spectacular plays and productions throughout its 57-year history and as a hotbed of theater talents having produced international-caliber stars such as Lea Salonga and Monique Wilson, among others.
The new state-of-the-art theater boasts an expansive area spanning 1,400 square meters and a bigger seating capacity of 500, along with upgraded amenities and common areas that feature a contemporary classic design and offer superior viewing comfort.
The REP Eastwood Theater is an exciting addition set to bring a premium cultural experience and solidify the position of Megaworld’s pioneering township development as the entertainment capital of Quezon City, known as the City of Stars, with Repertory’s world-class theater productions and plays now made more accessible to patrons and theater enthusiasts.
Repertory Philippines is debuting “Jepoy and the Magic Circle,” an original production based on the short story, “The Magic Circle,” by Gilda Cordero-Fernando to mark this new milestone.
This Filipino musical tells the story of a young boy, Jepoy, who embarks on an epic adventure in a world of enchantment and danger, showcasing a talented cast and stunning production design, blending music, storytelling, and breathtaking special effects to capture the imagination of audiences young and old.
The theater’s revitalized space and modern technology are sure to enhance every aspect of this enchanting show, reinforcing Repertory Philippines’ commitment to delivering world-class theater experiences.
