After 12 full house standing ovation shows at the PMCS Blackbox Theater, THE RECONCILIATION DINNER written by Floy Quintos and directed by Dexter M. Santos returns to stage at the PETA Theater Center.

THE RECONCILIATION DINNER is a dark comedy about friends trying to heal unspoken hurts, suspicions, disbelief about the choices of those they thought they knew well. In light of the 2022 elections, how well do we really know those we hold dear? And how far are we willing to go to overlook the choices they make?  The play follows the lives of close family friends – the Medinas and the Valderamas – who are forced to confront their personal differences amid the looming political turmoil in the Philippines.

They are joined by regulars in the Philippines theatre scene including Randy Medel Villarama, Jojo Cayabyab, Nelsito Gomez, Mica Pineda, and Phi Palmos.
