Finally, we got to learn about what made Kai into the person she has become.
At the heart of Almost Paradise Season 1 Episode 6 was the traumatic event that changed Kai's life.
That was the murder of her mother, a village elder against whom teenage Kai actively rebelled up until the time of Diwata's death.
First, Ernesto started to get a life outside work on Almost Paradise Season 1 Episode 5. Now, Kai took center stage.
Maybe soon we'll find out what makes Ike the ambitious, self-important prig he is.
Part of that attitude has to be attributed to his former partner, famed Detective Cesar Rabara, making his triumphant return to Cebu.
Cesar took his perfect arrest record off to the big city of Manila. Ike had to settle for working his way up to police chief of Mactan, being the big fish in a small pond.
Little wonder Ike seemed so resentful to Cesar,...

Chicago – “Speech & Debate,” the latest production from the mighty Brown Paper Box Company, continues their tradition of thinking outside that “box” in presenting storefront theater that makes a statement and a difference. “Speech” goes inside America by showcasing the outsiders… those who create art because they can’t get it right in real life. This non-equity Chicago stage play premiere is finely tuned and wonderfully acted, and runs through March 4th, 2018. Click here for more details, including ticket information.

The beauty of the piece is the dynamo of the three lead actors. Two are tentative and emerging adolescent gay men, the other is a overwrought theater nerd gal who cannot get cast. Together they create their own kind of music, and in that interim discover more about themselves than they expected. The play is sensitive, contemporary and performance strong, and becomes an absorbing piece of theater craft, with...
