Production company Fire and Ice LIVE! will stage a limited rerun of Choosing, a two-person drama written by Liza Diño-Seguerra, from June 6 to 15 at the Doreen Black Box Theater, Areté, Ateneo de Manila University.
The play, which premiered in 2024, explores themes of love, identity, and personal choices. It follows Stella, a cisgender woman, and Mitch, a transgender man, as they reflect on their lives, relationships, and struggles. The production addresses topics such as gender identity, trauma, and healing.
“Through Fire and Ice LIVE!, we aim to showcase world-class Filipino productions and contribute to the growth of local theater,” said Diño-Seguerra, co-founder of Fire and Ice LIVE! and playwright of “Choosing.” “This play tells a deeply personal yet universal story that we hope resonates with audiences.”
Directed by Anton Juan, the original run of Choosing received critical praise for its raw storytelling and performances. Ice Seguerra, who portrays Mitch and co-produces the play, described it as a way to spark conversations on self-discovery and acceptance.
The 2025 rerun coincides with Pride Month, further highlighting LGBTQ+ narratives. The production will retain its intimate setup and feature music by composer Vincent A. De Jesus.
Tickets will be available starting March 15 through Ticket2Me.
Show schedules include Friday and Saturday evening performances and weekend matinees. For inquiries, contact Fire and Ice LIVE! at 0917-700-3262 or tickets@fireandice.ph.
