The TAYO Awardee for the Day is the University of San Agustin Little Theater from Iloilo City, Iloilo. Their winning project is called Imagine|A|Nation. “Project Imagine-A-Nation” is the response of University of San Agustin Little Theatre (USALT) to the aftermath of Typhoon Yolanda. It is a series of creative works that reflect the stories of those that had to endure suffering and loss brought about by the storm, aiming to reach out and reassure them that they will get through what seems to be the insurmountable challenge of continuing and rebuilding their lives. The series is comprised of productions such as Voices After the Storm, Basura Busters and IMAGINE-A-NATION – works that utilized different approaches in delivering stories of strength and hope in the face of adversity. Voices After the Storm is a collection of short monologues culled from news reports, social media posts and personal accounts. Volunteers from the University of San Agustin visited the Municipality of Lemery in Northern IloIlo, which was hit by the storm. They provided relief goods and medical assistance, and the members of Little Theatre thought of putting on a show for the kids. They performed “Basura Busters”, - a story of three kids turned heroes to save their bewitched parents from Buyong Basura with help from kids of the local community. Aside from the comic relief that the play afforded the children, it encouraged the young audience to do their part in rebuilding their communities. It was received very well. Your organization's project could be featured in this page! Learn more about the TAYO Awards on www.tayoawards.net! The Deadline for the submission of project entries is on September 4, 2015.
