Encore Theater’s GRACE, the last masterpiece of the late Floy Quintos, directed by Dexter M. Santos, returns for its final run at the PETA Theater Center this June 2025. Playing to packed audiences and standing ovations during its first two runs, the production garnered critical acclaim, various citations, and a clamor for more shows. 

Grace is a fictionalized narrative based on the alleged apparitions of Mary, Mediatrix of All Grace at Lipa Carmel in 1948, as well as the miracles and controversies that have surrounded these events to this day. 

GRACE: The final run

According to Encore Theater CEO Stella Cañete-Mendoza, this run also serves as the company’s end of mourning and the start of the celebration of Quintos’ life and work. This year marks the prolific playwright’s first death anniversary. 

GRACE features a powerhouse ensemble of seasoned theatre actors Stella Cañete-Mendoza, Shamaine Centenera-Buencamino, Frances Makil-Ignacio, Leo Rialp, Dennis Marasigan, Jojo Cayabyab, Matel Patayon, and Raphne Catorce. For this final run, they are joined by Reb Atadero and Marynor Madamesila. 

Dexter M. Santos, Quintos’ long-time collaborator, directs the play together with an esteemed artistic team: Mitoy Sta. Ana (Production Designer), John Batalla (Lighting Designer), Steven Tansiongco (Graphic and Video Designer), Arvy Dimaculangan (Music and Sound Designer)

Mikko Angeles (Assistant Director), Marvin Olaes (Dramaturg), Davidson Oliveros (Dramaturg), and Meliton Roxas, Jr. (Technical Director)
