PGL season 3, I missed it, PGL season 1 and season 2 I catch it up when I was in K.L in 2004-2007. By now I cant follow up the recent theatre, here I were staying in Sarawak. Sad story..
When I was studied in University Malaya I'm in theatre course, by hook or by grook we got to attend the theatre show. For the first period I attended the PGL theatre, "AWESOME + IMPRESS" that the first words honestly came out. Surely really, the backdrops, the lightings, sounds, and of course the character was on 3 stars ranking. The season 2 I surely say 3 half stars ranking. For this season I just follow it up by internet online source, friends that attentded that show, of course that theatre show increased to 70% will archieve 4 stars ranking.
Improvement in theatre technical, backdrops, props, sets, will increased this theatre to the world class level. It's not possible PGL will fly highier from its path..A big applause from me...!!
Here is my photo infront of the Istana Budaya Kuala Lumpur. I catch this photo when I was pratikal as ASM (Assistant Stage Manager). Got much experiences as ASM here. So impress of myself can sharing knowledge and experience with the high class Istana Budaya staff. Really miss of them and IStana Budaya.
