Just recently, I was given the opportunity of becoming one of the production members of Les Miserables- the showtime presentation of Brightwoods School’s highschool graduating batch.  I was tasked to handle the costumes and inspite of the short notice, I believe that I was able to do my part well… However, what was really memorable was the collective efforts of each and everyone in the team.  Under the helm of our showtime director, Ditas Yap, everything went on smoothly and according to plan.  We are overwhelmed with the rave reviews of people who witnessed the event.  Again, we have proven that, together, we can really make great things happen!

Allow me to share my experience as a prod staff.  Being in-charge of costumes, I was able to mingle with the cast.  Just like any highschool batch, theirs was an interesting bunch of personalities.  Being a preschool teacher, they do not really know me, but then again, they welcomed me heartily and appreciated the help I have extended to them.  Penetrating the group and earning their support came in easy.  I have realized that inspite of their natural playfulness and easy going attitude, they were all for the success of the play!  I have been a witness to the hard work that each of them had accorded to the presentation… They helped each other, becoming leaders in each of their own way.  Indeed, it was a remarkable display of team work and camaraderie… To everybody, Congratulations!
