Suicide Incorporated - A Play to Help Raise Mental Awareness

How can a theater company help raise mental health awareness by staging a play that tackles the theme of depression, suicidal tendencies and suicide itself ?????.

Catch Twin Bill Theater’s eye-opening production aimed to shed light and raise awareness on mental health issues to its audiences in “SUICIDE INCORPORATED”--- a 2010 tragicomedy by brilliant Off- Broadway playwright Andrew Hinderaker.

Imagine a world where a company that edits suicide notes exists. Now imagine being part of that company. SUICIDE INCORPORATED 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.

SUICIDE INCORPORATED will be directed by Steven Conde. 

Six topnotch actors coming from different theater backgrounds have bonded together to essay the pivotal roles in this dark comedy exploring the perils of depression, coping with loss, guilt and redemption, 

HANS ECKSTEIN shall play the role of Jason, the newest hire of Legacy Letters, a company that prides itself in doing just that. He has an impressive back catalog of birthday cards 

JEREMY DOMINGO plays Scott, the CEO and owner of Legacy Letters.

BIBO REYES plays the role of Tommy, Jason's younger brother who, much like Jason, has some secrets of his own.

MAKO ALONSO and GEORGE SCHULZE shall alternately play the role of Norm, Jason's first client. 

CHINO VEGUILLAS shall play the role of Perry, Scott's ever loyal employee and the office kiss-ass.

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).

Shake it up with #NothingBut great taste!

Last May 21, Blogapalooza found the perfect chocolate milk concoction with Cocio.

Everyone loves the classic drink, but what makes Cocio so different? Read on to find out! 

Straightforward and honest, Cocio is all about reality. This cheeky chocolate milk drink was born in 1951 after creators Anker and Ella Pallesen decided that they would make the perfect cocoa drink. 

After much trial and error, they realized that they only needed three ingredients to achieve their goal: African cocoa, the best milk (sourced from Arla, of course), and high quality sugar. Even as the brand expanded to various other countries and many other variants were released, the simple recipe remains the same.

Known for its dry wit, Cocio isn’t afraid to underscore the fact that all it can guarantee you is an awesome drink. In fact, it says so with its tagline “Nothing but great taste”—a clear defiance of the trend of overpromising on the benefits a drink can give you. 

But Cocio also doesn’t position itself as better than anything else. Focusing only on giving a great and natural beverage, Cocio hit Asia for the first time last year in the Philippines and has since garnered countless fans with its Cocio Classicand Cocio Dark flavors.

s the second half of 2016 rolls in, Cocio promises their Filipino fans more exciting products and activities. Cocio will be releasing a brand new take on chocolate milk—the first of its kind in Asia. 

While going big with ingredients can sound interesting, Cocio use only a handful of natural ingredients without any artificial flavorings or extenders to prove that nutritious isn’t bland, and that less can truly mean more.
