After two critically acclaimed sold-out runs in 2023, The Sandbox Collective is set to restage Bawat Bonggang Bagay from June 22-30, 2024.

Starring multifaceted artist and comedy icon Jon Santos, Bawat Bonggang Bagay is a Filipino translation of Duncan Macmillan’s interactive one-man play Every Brilliant Thing. This new translation created more personal and nuanced connections with Filipino audiences. With Santos helping to place the show’s discussions of mental health and sexuality firmly in a local context, BBB was an immediate hit, receiving much praise for its deft handling of topics normally considered taboo in Filipino culture. Translated by Guelan Luarca and first staged as a part of Sandbox Fest 2023, BBB was nominated for Best Play at the 2023 BroadwayWorld Philippines Awards, with Santos receiving a Best Actor nomination. In September that year, a limited rerun was staged with six sold-out performances.

Due to the clamor and acclaim for its first two runs, Bawat Bonggang Bagay will return as a special Pride Month staging produced under The Sandbox Collective’s new special projects unit, The Sandbox Co. Labs. While the 2024 rerun will be staged in a proscenium-style theater, marking a departure from the play’s previous homes in smaller spaces, BBB will maintain the intimate, interactive nature of the material by placing the audience in-the-round and onstage with Santos. Director Jenny Jamora will once again be at the helm.

Bawat Bonggang Bagay is produced in partnership with Samsung Performing Arts Theater and Avida.
