Feels Like Home
I spent this weekend watching the blueREP Newbie Production, Hope for the Flowers, a rock musical adaptation of the book by Trina Paulus. It's a fun musical with a powerful and inspirational message. (If you want to catch the show, there are shows on October 5 and 6, Thursday and Friday, 7pm at the Ateneo Rizal Mini-Theater. Tickets are 150pesos each.)

But that's not what I wanted to talk about.

I shall always consider blueREP as something of a second home. Returning to my old college org always feels good. I always feel welcomed by the members. It's where I feel I can be most myself.

I'm happy I've remained close with my own newbie batch, the Bye Bye Birdie babies. I'm very happy (and surprised, honestly) that last year's newbies, the Blue Revue batch, still seems to look up to me. And I'm very glad that I'm getting to know this year's batch of newbies.

Watching every blueREP show gives me a sense of pride, and it's even greater when it's a newbie production. Seeing these new members - a mix of theater/workshop veterans as well as true newbies discovering theater for the first time - experience what it was like for me three years ago (!) made me, well, hopeful for the future of this org, as well as proud of the people who were newbies alongside me. They have certainly made this org grow and blossom in the last few years.

To the oldies: Congratulations on a successful production! It's amazing how this newbie production has become a true breeding ground of fresh talent. I'm happy that the tradition of excellence is continuing in your hands.

To the newbies: Congratulations, and welcome to blueREP! Hope for the Flowers is definitely a show you can all be proud of. I hope I get to know all of you better soon.

Face it! (Face it!)
We're from blueREP! (blueREP!)
I know right!


Hehe.
