Despite theater’s two-year hiatus due to the pandemic, the organization aimed to reintroduce itself to the FEU Community with its theater laboratory, Tamdula V: Muli. FTG’s return and reacquaintance was successful in reestablishing its place in the performing arts. In preparation for its 90th anniversary in the following year, FTG wholeheartedly offers its major production “Halu Halo”.

Mr. Dudz Teraña, director of “Halu Halo” is one of the senior members and directors of the Philippine Educational Theater (PETA), one of the established theater-based organizations in the country. He is known for his directed productions in PETA such as “Tagu-taguan Nasaan ang Buwan”, “Batang Rizal”, and “Living Voices” a PETA documentary. He has also been an actor in “Care Divas, Under My Skin” and the television series “Niño, Niña”. As FTG’s artistic director, his goal is to reintroduce the incensed emotions of theater to the FEU community, throughout the University-Belt, and of Non-FEU community.

“Halu Halo” contains ten short plays that are divided into two and shown every Friday and Saturday.
