“Beheld” will be starred by Epy Quizon (from “Heneral Luna,” among others), Natalia Abad (from “Shrek the Musical”), and Katie Bradshaw (from Montessori’s “Romeo and Juliet”), while “Carol” will include Edgar Alan Zeta-Yap (from University of Asia and the Pacific’s version of “The Lesson”), Javi Coromina (from UA&P’s adaptation of “The Importance of Being Earnest”), Sari Estrada (from “The Country Wife Egg”) and Liv Gonzales (from “Little Princess”).
