It is up to Joselle and the people around her to create a different path of parenting, of creating more options. How? That's what the play will explore.
ANG POST OFFICE
From an adaptation of Rabindranath Tagore's drama Dakghar ("Post Office") comes a poignant play about a child named Abel - who, despite his illness greets the world with loving and consuming passion through the lone window of his room. Told from the point of view of the people from the village who are touched by his innocence, strength of spirit and hope, Abel is brought to the outside world though his conversations with a taho-seller, a guard, a policeman and a young girl. A live score sung by various children's choirs accentuates his inspiring story and the villagers' rich tales.

CAREDIVAS
Care Divas is a disarmingly funny and candid musical drama inspired by the award-winning documentary 'Paperdolls'. It is a story about five Filipino transgender migrant workers who have emigrated to Israel to work as health care providers for the elderly and who in their spare time, perform as drag queens. While desperate to make ends meet in another country, they also struggle to search for freedom and acceptance. Entertaining as it is, the play also demonstrates the generosity of spirit, resilience and humanity of Filipinos.
