The Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI) wants to give more Filipinos greater access to global creative experiences. To do so, it is partnering with Theatre Group Asia for its 2026-2027 “Season of Power.” The season will showcase three major international and Philippine productions. They focus on themes of love, life, and art.
Through this partnership, BPI and Robinsons Bank cardholders can purchase tickets via TicketWorld. They also enjoy exclusive privileges. These include 10% off select merchandise and on restaurants and concessions inside the theater during show runs. In this way, audiences can fully experience the theater beyond the stage.
“The arts play an important role in shaping who we are as a people. They reflect our stories, our creativity, and our shared aspirations,” said Alma Aldip, Group Head of Unsecured Lending and Cards at BPI. “Through our partnership with Theatre Group Asia, BPI is proud to help make world-class theater more accessible to Filipinos. We also support platforms that showcase Filipino talent and strengthen our cultural identity on the global stage.”
Opening With A Chorus Line
The season opens with a return to one of musical theater’s most enduring stories. It is about ambition, identity, and the pursuit of artistic dreams. This March, Filipino audiences can experience Broadway in Manila with James Kirkwood and Nicholas Dante’s A Chorus Line. It runs March 12 to 29, 2026, at the Samsung Performing Arts Theatre.
Award-winning Filipino creative Karla Puno Garcia will direct and choreograph the production. It features Philippine-based performers alongside international artists of Filipino heritage. In this way, it reflects the global footprint of Filipino talent and storytelling.
The Rest of the Season of Power
The broader “Season of Power” continues this narrative of human resilience, love, identity, and artistic expression. It offers a lineup of globally recognized productions staged for local audiences:
- The Notebook: The Musical — International premiere, September 2026. The musical tells a story of enduring love, memory, and devotion across time. It adapts the beloved novel and film.
- Ang Tahanan ni Bernarda Alba — Philippine premiere, February 2027. It retells Federico García Lorca’s classic. The story explores repression, family dynamics, and female agency within a traditional household.
- Stephen Sondheim’s Sunday in the Park with George — Philippine premiere, June 2027. It is a meditation on art, legacy, and creative obsession. The life of painter Georges Seurat inspired it.
BPI and Robinsons Bank cardholders will have exclusive pre-sale access to these shows. They can buy tickets via www.ticketworld.com.ph using BPI or Robinsons Bank credit or debit cards, while supplies last.
By supporting productions like these, BPI continues to stand behind platforms where creativity flourishes. It helps bring global stories to local audiences. At the same time, it celebrates the artistry and passion of Filipino performers and creatives.
