In line with its vision of developing well-trained Filipino actors, the Tanghalang Pilipino maintains a regular training program for actors through its Actors’ Company. The Actors’ Company is directed towards developing the activity of a theater from a dilettante’s passatiempo or hobby to a profession, whereby he is recognized and given credit for his duties and responsibilities as artists in residence. The only one of its kind in the country, the Actors’ Company is a pool of professional theater actors who go through intensive training in acting, movement, dance, voice, script analysis, improvisation, directing and other related courses. Members of this prestigious and privileged group are among the most respected artists in Philippine theater, television and film communities. Some of the actors who trained under this program are: Shamaine Centenera-Buencamino, Noni Buencamino, Irma Adlawan-Marasigan, Allan Paule, John Arcilla, Garry Lim and CCP’s former Vice President and Tanghalang Pilipino’s current Artistic Director, Fernando ‘Nanding’ Josef.
In Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman, we are ushered into a world where fate is given a name: capitalist materialism. Willy Loman's tragic downfall stems from his unwavering desire to achieve the American Dream. And 65 years later, the obsession with this fantasy still plagues our national ethos --- it could very well define the tragedy of the Filipino people.

TP's Tuxqs Rutaquio cited as Best Director for BEST OF THEATER 2013
BEST DIRECTOR- Tuxqs Rutaquio. For two topnotch productions—“Der Kaufmann/Ang Negosyante ng Venecia” and “Ibalong,” one a provocative transposition of Shakespeare (co-directed with adaptor Rody Vera), the other a roaring neo-ethnic dance-musical—that showcased Rutaquio’s range and acuity as a director and his expert way with ensembles. A third work, the small-scale musical “Sandosenang Sapatos,” was a minor affair that nevertheless still throbbed with the emotional eloquence characteristic of Rutaquio’s output. He also did double duty as set designer for all three productions (and played Antonio in a couple of “Der Kaufmann” performances). Already the most accomplished young director to emerge from the Virgin Labfest, Rutaquio represents a new generation of creative multi-hyphenates stirring the theater scene. He is an exciting artist to watch. Honorable Mentions: Bart Guingona (“Red”); Nonon Padilla (“Lorenzo”); Bobby Garcia (“Carrie,” “The Addams Family”); Jaime del Mundo (“The Bluebird of Happiness”); Dexter Santos (“Maxie The Musicale”); Soxie Topacio (“Himala, The Musical—10th Anniversary Concert”); Ed Lacson Jr. (“Isang Daan,” “Games People Play”).
