NAGLABAS ng anunsiyo sa social media ang The IdeaFirst Company, na pinamumunuan nina Direk Jun Robles Lana at Direk Perci Intalan, para sa paglulunsad ng nationwide competition para sa playwrights at manunulat sa teatro.
Ayon sa social media post ng IdeaFirst, “To ensure that the country’s legacy of dramatic writing will continue, we will be launching THE FILIPINO PLAYWRIGHT’S PRIZE (TFPP), a nationwide competition for full-length and one-act plays in Filipino. The sole winner in the full length category will receive 100,000 pesos while 50,000 pesos will go to the sole winner in the one-act play category.”
Malapit sa puso ni Direk Jun ang playwrights dahil aniya, “I started my career as a playwright under the mentorship of the great Rene O. Villanueva. Theater has always been my first love. It was heartbreaking to see the shutdown of theater productions during the pandemic. Through this annual competition, we want to motivate our playwrights to continue telling stories for the stage as we all look forward to the day when we can all gather together again to watch their creations performed on live theater.”
Rebelasyon pa ni Direk Jun, naisip na niyang isagawa ang kompetisyon na ito noong magsimula pa lang ang pandemic. Kaya nagpapasalamat siya kina Direk Perci at Elmer Gatchalian na tumulong sa kanya para maisakatuparan ito ngayon.
Bukas ang kompetisyon sa lahat ng Filipino citizens of all ages maliban sa officers at talents ng The IdeaFirst Company.
Magsismula ang pagtanggap ng entries sa May 1, 2022 at magtatapos sa May 16, 2022. Maglalabas din ng detalyadong rules ang IdeaFirst.
Samantala, buo ang suporta ni Direk Perci kay Direk Jun sa inilunsad nitong kompetisyon.
“This is a pet project of @junrobleslana that he has been thinking about for a while. Please read why and please support
THE FILIPINO PLAYWRIGHT’S PRIZE (TFPP), a nationwide competition for full-length and one-act plays in Filipino,” tweet ni Direk Perci.
