| Bootstrap Theatre founder William Elvin tells OFWs why they should join the worshop |
Fresh from the successful staging of its maiden play, “Fake,” the Bootstrap Theatre team made up mostly of Filipino professionals in Hong Kong, has opened registration for its acting and scriptwriting workshop for migrant domestic workers to be held from September 14 to November 16 at Bayanihan Centre in Kennedy Town.
Bootstrap founder William Elvin Manzano, a renowned theater actor, director, writer, composer and singer, visited Bayanihan earlier Sunday, to announce the workshop and encourage the Filipino domestic workers who were there to take part.

The free theater workshop titled “Teatro Bayanihan Tayo” intends to help FDWs gain self-confidence and discover their hidden talents while taking a break from their day-to-day grind.
It's the first such workshop to be held since renowned film and stage director Behn Cervantes did a month-long acting training for OFWs in the early 2000s, and National Artist for Film Ricky Lee conducted a day-long scriptwriting seminar in 2016.

The Bootstrap Theatre’s seasoned talents led by William Elvin, will conduct the workshop.
TBT describes itself in its Facebook page as “a Filipino-centric theatre group based in Hong Kong, staging contemporary, socially relevant straight plays and musicals written by Filipino playwrights for an international, multicultural audience.”
Its debut play, “Fake”, which dramatized the unraveling of two big hoaxes in Philippine history, left audiences enthralled during its two stagings on June 7 at The Fringe Club in Central.
