Repertory Philippines will be bringing The Graduate, one of the most powerful stories of sexual awakening and coming of age, to the local stage. The play, based on the 1963 novel by Charles Webb that was made into a movie in 1967, will star renowned actress Pinky Marquez in the role of the original cougar, Mrs. Robinson. Reb Atadero will play college graduate Benjamin Braddock, who will fall in love with Mrs. Robinson’s daughter Elaine despite the older woman’s attempts to seduce him.

Joining Pinky and Reb is an all-star stage cast composed of Cara Barredo, Jeremy Domingo, Jaime del Mundo, Angela Padilla, Nathalie Everett and Joel Trinidad, who was last seen alongside Pinky in the hit play No Way To Treat A Lady.

The Graduate opens on April 5, with shows on April 6 and 7, 12, 13, 14, 19, 20, 21, 26, 27 and 28 at Onstage, Greenbelt 1. For ticket reservations, call Repertory Philippines at 571-6926 or Ticketworld at 891-9999.
