“We focused on rehearsing their original monologues, some of which were written by the workshoppers themselves. They memorized their chosen monologues and rehearsed them for five weeks after our acting lectures,” said Manzano
The result is something that makes Bootstrap happy and proud of the workshoppers, he added.

“Happy to have shared the art of theatre and storytelling to them, and excited with what more we can do moving forward.”
Future plans include featuring the OFW talents in the video segments that will be shown alongside the live performance of Bootstrap’s next production, “JOB: Fateful Fever Dream” which will be staged in July next year.
A film project that will feature the new OFW performers along with veteran actors is also in the offing.
