With the American presence in the Philippines for the first half of the 20th century,
it was inevitable that many US and European theater forms and scripts
found there way here.
Among them were the classics, such as the plays of William
Shakespeare, as well as the works of the great American playwrights.
At the same time, local theater groups staged original Philippine
zarzuelas which were plays performed in son, similar to the European opera.
In the past few decades, modern theater groups have continued to express
the distinctly Philippine interpretation of both originally-written plays as well as
adaptations of foreign works translated into Filipino.
