Performing Filipina 29 Hour Reading

PERFORMING FILIPINA by Lianah Sta. Ana is a musical for Filipinas, by a Filipina, that links personal and familial histories to a diasporic one, empowers our community, and grounds us in a foundation of care. Act one of the musical examines who/what we regard as the “Filipina Woman,” act two unpacks how “The Filipina” affects our lives, and act three is an intergenerational look at how we have, and continue to, survive.

The 29-hour reading will be performed at Houghton Hall in NYC on November 14th at 1:30pm and 4:30pm, directed by Isabel Rodriguez, music directed by Patrick B. Phillips, starring Anika Braganza, Liz Casasola, Aliza Ciara, Emy Coligado, Emily Goes, and Lianah Sta Ana.

PERFORMING FILIPINA is supported by LMCC, YoungArts, Andrew Kim, and Adam Hyndman; and is fiscally sponsored by Leviathan Lab. Lianah Sta. Ana and Cindy Tsai serve as producers. Kathleen Rose Gallardo serves as stage manager.
