Spend an evening of candid conversations, complicated emotions, and unfiltered honesty with "Tagay Para Sa Ex," presented by Boxstage Manila and the FEU Center for the Arts. Written and directed by Dudz Teraña, the production runs on Aug. 8, 13, 15, and 22, and Sept. 5, 2026, at FEU Center for the Arts Studio, with performances scheduled at 3 PM and 7 PM.

Loosely inspired by Raymond Carver's acclaimed short story "What We Talk About When We Talk About Love," the play follows five contemporary professionals gathered for a drinking session that soon turns into an evening of self-reflection and emotional reckoning. As drinks flow and defenses begin to crumble, questions about romance, ambition, commitment, and life's defining choices take center stage.

Featuring characters whose experiences feel strikingly familiar, "Tagay Para Sa Ex" explores the messy realities of modern relationships through sharp dialogue, humor, and deeply relatable moments. Set inside a condominium gathering where every toast reveals another layer of truth, the production offers an intimate look at the conversations people have about love, heartbreak, and the search for meaning when the past refuses to stay buried.

Tickets are available at P500 for Regular admission and P800 for VIP admission.
