We often hear suicide cases in the news or see it online. And usually, people who commit suicide leave a letter for their loved ones.
What if there is a company that edits these suicide notes? Now, imagine being part of that company.
This July, the Twin Bill Theater brings us an eye-opening production aiming to shed light and awareness on mental health issues to its audiences. The SUIDE INCORPORATED is a tragicomedy play by the brilliant off-Broadway playwright Andrew Hinderaker.
The story centers around a company that makes money by drafting suicide notes. The business is Hallmark gone Wall Street, turning a profit by bullishly pushing its clients to perform the unspeakable. The CEO speaks, in an advertiser’s tongue, about cornering the market by targeting those suicide victims least likely to leave notes: Men. It turns out all these men are emotional mice when it comes to discussing matters of the self.
The Suicide Incorporated will be directed by Steven Conde and stars six topnotch actors: Hans Eckstein, Jeremy Domingo, Bibo Reyes, Mako Alonso, George Schulze, and Chino Veguillas.
Produced by Twin Bill Theater, the company aims to produce shows that explore and challenge issues faced by today’s society. As its first official play for their first season, the founders led by theater professionals Joseph and Francis Matheu also noted that their goals are also focused on stirring up the public’s interest to rediscover, love and preserve our historical, cultural and spiritual values through theater; and to make quality, thought-provoking productions more accessible to the non-theater going public.
The artistic team of “Suicide Incoporated” are as follows: Steven Conde (Director), Ed Lacson (Set Design), Jay Pangilinan (Sound Design), and Joseph Matheu (Lighting Design).
The production team includes: Francis Matheu (Production Manager), Leoren Violan (Stage Manager and Graphic Design), Toots Tolentino (Publicity), Juliene Mendoza (Photography), and Kathleen Francisco (Marketing).
