Zanna Don’t, A Musical Fairytale by Ateneo Blue Repertory

Ateneo Blue Repertory, the country’s premier college musical theatre organization, closes its 18th season with Zanna, Don’t!—A Musical Fairytale.

Zanna, Don’t! takes place in a topsy-turvy world where homosexuality is the norm and the heteros must battle anti-straight prejudice. Set in Heartsville High, the plot revolves around Zanna, a teen fairy matchmaker and the hell that breaks loose when a boy and a girl, fall in love with each other. Providing a fresh perspective, it allows audiences to understand love and relationships from a different point of view.
