Artist Playground Celebrates its 10th Anniversary with the Debut of Psychological Thriller, REVERSE CARD

Set for a limited run on August 2 and 3, 2025 at 3:00 PM and 7:00 PM, the production will take place at the Black Box Theater at Erehwon Center for the Arts. This milestone staging underscores Artist Playground’s ongoing commitment to provocative, boundary-pushing storytelling.

REVERSE CARD is a gripping thriller that tells the story of a gay author who has been tormented throughout his life due to his gender identity. In a moment of vulnerability, he invites his former classmate and longtime bully, John, to his home. However, the evening takes a sinister turn as the author’s latest play is rejected in favor of John’s work.

A two-hander that immerses audiences in the suffocating space between two characters locked in a devastating battle. More than a war of words, this play is a visceral confrontation between humiliation and dignity.

The cast features Gerhard Kryststopher as Marvin, and Gerald Magallanes as John, who makes his Artist Playground debut.

The production is brought to life by a seasoned creative team, including Roeder Camañag as the Artistic Director, Paul Jake Paule as the Director, and Chase Kyle Loza as the Playwright. John Denver Martin serves as both the Stage Manager and Lighting Designer, while Jess Briones handles publicity as the Publicist. Vince Macapobre is the Sales Manager, Christian Silang is the Projection Designer, Nico Cabanit is the Layout Artist and also handles Photography, and Photography and Videography by Mc Win Llanes.

Production management is led by Kimberly Claire Somoza, with Lyka Lopez and Lenn Asis as Assistant Stage and Production Managers.
