Oh I really thought this show will be having 2 weeks run but I guess I'm too preoccupied to notice the show dates.  It appears that it only have 5 limited performances this weekend and tomorrow they will be closing after 2 shows.

“Care Divas” is a disarmingly funny and candid musical drama about five transgender Overseas Filipino Workers in Israel who work as care givers in the morning and transform into glamorous drag queen performers come night fall. While desperate to make ends meet in another country, they also struggle to search for freedom and acceptance in a foreign land.

The play’s theatrical and wickedly funny text, written by award-winning playwright, Liza Magtoto cradles lovely, gentle moments that mull over the lives of the main characters: the kind and loving Chelsea, the often-sarcastic group leader Shai, the ditsy Thalia, the bubbly Kayla and the ill-tempered Jonee.

Returning for to reprise their roles are Melvin Lee, Vincent De Jesus, Phil Noble, Buddy Caramat, Dudz Teraña, Jason Barcial and Eric dela Cruz, Paul Holme, Ricci Chan, Jerald Napoles, Myke Salomon, Angeli Bayani together, Miguel Hidalgo and Dominic Miclat-Janssen.  Joining the cast is Repertory Philippines' children's theater Associate Director Joy Virata as Adara and Sara, previously played by PETA's Cecilia Garrucho.


I already saw this show a couple of months ago and I really had a great time watching it.  Other than being so entertaining, Caredivas opens us a fresh and unique perspective about Filipino Overseas Workers in the Middle East.  Definitely a show worth your every penny. Catch the final shows tomorrow at 3:00pm and 8:00pm at the Onstage Theater Greenbelt 1 Makati, City. For inquiries and ticket reservations, contact PETA Marketing and Public Relations Office at Tel.
