One of the senior members and directors of the Philippine Educational Theater (PETA) and currently the FTG artistic director, Teraña aims to reintroduce the incensed emotions of theater to the FEU community, throughout the University-Belt, and to Non-FEU communities.
“Halu Halo” is a collection of ten short plays grouped into two sets that are presented every Friday and Saturday respectively.
Set A (Fridays):
- “Arte Ka” – adapted from the writing of R. Orloff and discusses the elements of writing in the entertainment industry.
- “Recess” – originally written by Teraña, is about familial issues, particularly of a father abusing his family.
- “Walong Letra” – adapted from J. Johnston’s play explores the relationship of a couple with a dent in their union.
