Due to overwhelming public demand, Shakespeare returns to Makati this February as Ayala Land and Make It Makati, in partnership with CAST PH (Company of Actors in Streamlined Theatre), bring back Shakespeare in the Park, featuring Twelfth Night.

Following the success of its earlier run, the beloved outdoor production returns for a special engagement at Circuit Makati, coinciding with Art Fair Philippines and Art Walk by Ayala Land. The area transforms into a vibrant cultural hub where theatre, visual art, and community converge—inviting audiences to enjoy a full weekend of creativity unfolding across Circuit Park.

Performances take place on February 7 at 5:00 PM, and February 8 at 5:00 PM and 8:00 PM, offering audiences the chance to experience one of Shakespeare’s most enduring comedies as part of a dynamic, art-filled public celebration.

Twelfth Night is a joyous tale of love, disguise, and mistaken identity—brimming with wit, romance, and playful chaos. This abridged production is directed by Nelsito Gomez and features a returning ensemble of celebrated theatre artists: Teia Contreras, Cholo Ledesma, Jillian Ita, Altair Alonso, Cathy Azanza Dy, Tarek El Tayech, Dean Daniel Rosen, and Miguel Salaya.

Ayala Land and Make It Makati continue their commitment to engaging communities through accessible art, creating public spaces where culture thrives. By aligning live theatre with major art events like Art Fair Philippines, the estate reinforces its vision of Circuit as a true Creative District—where multidisciplinary experiences bring people together and weave creativity into everyday urban life.

“We are excited to collaborate with CAST PH and talented artists Nelsito Gomez and Sarah Facuri in what we hope will be an annual offering in Makati,” shared Christopher Mohnani, Director of Arts and Culture for Makati Estates. “By bringing Shakespeare in the Park to Circuit during Art Fair Philippines, we are creating a shared cultural moment that celebrates creativity in many forms.”

CAST PH Artistic Director Nelsito Gomez adds, “We didn’t expect the overwhelming response to Twelfth Night, and we’re grateful to bring it back during Art Fair Philippines. We hope it will be an even merrier and more festive experience.”

Admission is free, welcoming both Art Fair visitors and theatre lovers to experience Shakespeare in an open-air setting.
