The FEU Theater Guild’s (FTG) forerunner, the FEU Dramatic Guild, was founded in 1933 under the patronage of no less than the FEU founder himself, Dr. Nicanor Reyes Sr. The Dramatic Guild was organized by Professor Sarah K. Joaquin, one of the pioneers in the Philippines of school-based theater training and stage productions.
With the Philippine Educational Theater Association-trained Eduardo “Dudz” Teraña as artistic director, the FTG stages at least two plays per semester which are always crowd drawers and not just from the FEU community.
Though the FTG’s main presentation venue remains to be the fabled FEU Auditorium, which was the country’s first Cultural Center, it also performs in outdoor venues within FEU.
The FTG won twice in the University of the Philippines’ Curtain Call Theater Competition, most recently in 2014 where it bagged the Best Play, Best Actor and Best Actress. The FTG also participated in the first Manila Fringe Festival in 2015 with sold-out performances at the College of St. Benilde.
