Trumpets has relocated its headquarters to the heart of Metro Manila's business district in Makati City. The new office is now in Room 804 of The Greenbelt Mansion, 106 Perea Street in Legaspi Village. Regular office hours are from 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM, Tuesdays to Fridays.
After many years, Trumpets is back with another original musical adaptation. The Bluebird: A Magical Musical will be debuting in August of 2012 at the Meralco Theater, Manila's premiere staging venue. The story is based on the play called "The Bluebird" by Belgian playwright Maurice Maeterlink and was popularized by the Shirley Temple film of the same name.
It is the story of two poor children named Mytyl and Tyltyl (accompanied by their dog, cat and a candle in human form named "Light" who help them on their quest) and their search for the "Bluebird of Happiness". Together they explore wondrous and mysterious lands such as "The Land of Memory", "The Kingdom of Night", "The Forest", "The Palace of Plenty" and "The Land of the Soon-to-be-born".
Trumpets' Little Mermaid was invited to be the showcase musical for this year's Batroun International Festival in Lebanon. Last July 22, 2011, Trumpets' original adaptation of Hans Christian Andersen's tale was performed by an all-Filipino cast for the second time in the Middle East. Following a successful showing in Qatar's Arts and Culture Festival, Little Mermaid was once again brought to the region and produced in the picturesque coastal city of Batroun before an international and multi-cultural audience.
Trumpets most recent major musical N.O.A.H. (No Ordinary Aquatic Habitat) was performed at the Meralco Theater in August to September of 2009 starring Carlo Orosa as Mr. Noah, Sheila Francisco as Mrs. Noah and Sam Concepcion as God. Originally conceived by writer/director Jaime del Mundo as a puppet musical, the script was reworked and many new songs were added by composer Rony Fortich to produce a full-length musical for the entire family. The show featured colorful sets, lively dance numbers, and even an "Ark Gallery" on stage where audience members could sit and become part of the animal horde.
Trumpets, Inc. is a non-stock, non-profit theater company dedicated to using the performing arts and all media for sharing the wonderful LIFE that can be found in Jesus Christ.
