It's show time once more at the Gallaga Theatre of the University of St. La Salle .

Produksyon Tramontina Inc., with the cooperation of the USLS Alumni Relations Office, is staging Contact, a two one-act play presentation, written and directed by two Negrense artists.

The stage production, which was presented for four nights in the past week, will also be shown on Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 6:45 p.m.

The two one-act plays are Weblab and Love 4 1/2, which explores two young couple's idea of love, relationship and commitment. Weblab, written and directed by USLS Mass Comm teacher Jade Snow Calderon-Dionzon, looks into deception in cyberspace through character Robbie and Nena, who engage in the jigsaw of realities and emotional longings.

Love 4 1/2, written and directed by another Mass Comm mentor, Tanya Lopez, essays the story of Tessa, who is looking for her perfect partner while sleeping around with men, and Angie, who insists on waiting for Mr. Right. On the other end are Pablo and Mon who think they have found the girl of their dreams only to find out that circumstances can play a cruel trick on people's love. Poetry is interspersed with the scenes.

Portraying the lead roles in Love 4 1/2 are Juan Carlo Lizardo as Ramon, Gospel Janoy as Pablo, Jhon Javier as Angela and Ashley Peña as Tess. The Weblab players are Reverie Rosels (Nena), Neil Colango (Robbie), Marijo Pascual (Kitty) and Daryl Geroso (J).
