A GOOD CHRISTIAN THEATERGOER!

There is what we call a good theatergoer, who can suspend all of his beliefs whenever he watches a stage play, which means he is submitting himself to whatever story, character, scenes he will be seeing. It also means that If he saw His girlfriend, who is a part of the cast, having a kissing scene, he won’t mind that because He has submitted himself to the play, which means he is into the play.

But there is also what we call a good christian theatergoer, that also submits but he choose what to watch and to view. And if the Christian is a part of a play, he must be discerning and sensitive if he will be pleasing God in that character or role he will portray.

But theater arts, sure is a way for self-improvement!
But I’m also into good christian theatergoers. That should be our aim.
God won’t want us to portray a nude scene, a scene that has a PG-13,14,15 UP, or any scenes that would affect our testimony as a christian.

BE DISCERNING!
BE SENSITIVE!
WILL YOU PLEASE GOD WITH THAT CHARACTER?

The theater is so endlessly fascinating because it’s so accidental. It’s so much like life.

Konsepto, konsepto, konsepto

Teatro, Teatro, ano nga bang konsepto mo?

Anong klaseng sining ang taglay mo?

Maaari bang malaman ko?

Upuan, telon at entablado

ang unang mamamasid mo

ika’y mamamangha

sa laki at gandang taglay nito

Mga ilaw, tunog, at artista

ang iyong sunod na makikita’t madarama

ika’y mapaiyak o mapatawa

di nila makikita

Ika’y magpasakop

sa ilusyong tinataglay nito

sa mga artistang pag-arte nila ang hangad mo

mga ilaw, tunog at disenyo

makikita’t madarama mo

ilusyon, ilusyon

isa ka nga lang bang ilusyon?

sapagkat mukang tunay

ang mga yugtong sa likod ng malaking telon

direktor, manunulat

pagkagaling-galing mo

pagkat ako’y napaniwala

diyan sa ilusyong iyong ginawa

dula-dulaan, pag-eensayo

ako sana’y mapasaiyo

sa mga aktor ako’y makikita

di nila inaakala

lokohan ba ang mga ito?

hipokrito nga ba kayo?

pagkat di ko alam kung anong totoo

pagharap ninyo sa mga tao

ako’y naiyak ng husto

napatawa ng todo-todo

natakot sa mga maligno

nagulat sa emosyon mo

nagtaka bakit ganoon

nagdalawang-isip bakit pumaroon

nagdalamhati sa kamatayan mo

nagmahal dahil sayo

ako’y iyong-iyo

mahal kong teatro

hiwaga mo’y kakaiba

sa lahat ng iyong kasama

dati ika’y nasa ulo

ngayon ika’y nasa puso ko

dahil minamahal ko ang teatro

tanging sining na ginusto ko!
