Editing Repertory Company (section)

==History: A Very Rich Heritage==

The UP Repertory Company is a non-stock, non-profit student organization that continually aims to raise the social consciousness of the Filipino audience through theater. It was established by director Behn Cervantes in 1972 as an answer to the University’s need for a responsible performing group. In response to the worsening social conditions prevalent in those days, the company established a tradition of plays that mirrors the lives of Filipinos.

Being a student organization, the Company has continually striven to train its members both in the artistic and technical aspects of theater such as costume making, set-construction, lighting design, as well as acting, directing and writing. These activities are conducted by inviting veterans of the theater world as well as the Company’s alumni as teachers and workshop facilitators. Aside from being a repertory that spreads awareness, it also opened its doors to everyone who is willing to learn the world of theater by conducting free workshops to anyone who is willing to learn new theater skills.
