Cebu theater: Kuhit by Students of Cebu Normal University

Some students of Cebu Normal University informed me of their theater project involving my short story "Flip Gothic." Here is their publicity poster.

“Love is just a word until someone comes along to give it meaning.” Watch Mindy turn Paolo Coelho’s words into a conflict on stage as Cebu Normal University’s Drama Society and E-lite Society in cooperation with the English Studies and Other Languages Department, and the MUGNA Creative Writing Center present “KUHIT,” a deconstruction of Cecilia Manguerra-Brainard’s “Flip Gothic.” February 27 and 28 at Tandang Sora Hall.
