It Started with a Dream

A lot of people can't believe that young as we are, my sister and I were able to form our own theatre company. We came up with the concept while we were at the lobby of a hotel in 2003, waiting for our little brother who was attending their school's JS Prom.

From the early 90's until the present, we have seen so many gifted, talented individuals disappear into anonymous wilderness. When we meet them, they often express the desire to return to the stage to do what they love most: to perform.

And then, there are also a lot of people with potentials, who dream of performing on stage, but just do not have the avenue to do so.

This is why the idea, the dream of having a theatre company was born...

It all started with a dream...

And the dream come true in 2004, when the Cebu Theatre Company, Ltd. entered the scene through our debut production, Anastasia.

In its own little way, the Cebu Theatre Company, Ltd. hopes to promote Filipino, particularly Cebuano culture, through theatrical productions; provide an avenue for individuals to share themselves, and to steer away from bad influences; create an extended family and provide an environment in which imagination can flourish; and contribute to the growth and advancement of Philippine theatre; and discover and create a new generation of theatre artists and audience.

Five years of doing plays, musicals, variety shows & concerts, as well as private events such as weddings, corporate shows and parties, we've never made this a business. It's all for the love of performing, and if ever we're lucky enough to receive something, we give it back to our needy brothers and sisters.

My sis, Kazie, and I hope that even when we're long gone, CTC will continue to live on and continue to make a positive difference in the lives of many.


Feel the flame forever burn
Teaching lessons we must learn
To bring us closer to the power of the dream
The world unites in hope and peace
We pray that it will always be
It is the power of the dream
that brings us here.
