On the heels of two successful runs of the musicals The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee and Little Shop of Horrors, The Sandbox Collective will cap off its 10th anniversary season with straight play Tiny Beautiful Things starring Iza Calzado.
The bestselling book-turned-play-turned-TV show was first published in 2012 by Cheryl Strayed. Based on her experiences as an anonymous advice columnist, the play is told in epistolary form, with a revolving door of Letter Writers appearing onstage and asking Sugar for advice on life. Featuring real letters from real people, Tiny Beautiful Things highlights the common threads between our experience as humans.
Celebrated actress and TV host Iza Calzado will be stepping into the role of Sugar, making her straight play debut. Her career, spanning over two decades, features standout performances in acclaimed projects such as Sigaw, Milan and the fantasy series Encantadia. Beginning in 2002, Calzado’s versatility has made her a prominent figure in Philippine entertainment.
TINY BEAUTIFUL THINGS is directed by Jenny Jamora. Joining Jenny are Marcel David as Assistant Director, Charyl De Guzman as Production Manager, Pachot Festejo as Head Stage Manager, Kiefer Sison as Lighting Designer/Technical Director, Kayla Teodoro as Set Designer, Krystal Kane as Costume Stylist, and Arvy Dimaculangan as Sound Designer/Musical Scoring.
TINY BEAUTIFUL THINGS will run all weekends from November 16 to December 8, 2024 at the Power Mac Center Spotlight Black Box Theater, Circuit Makati. Stay tuned for further announcements!
