PAUL JAKE PAULE as ELIAS in "KANSER 2017: THE NOVEL"....

PAUL: DEBONAIRE AND HANDSOME

PAUL JAKE PAULE IS ONE OF THE MOST TALENTED THEATER ACTORS WE HAVE NOW. HE HAD PLAYED A VARIETY OF WIDE ROLES IN MANY STAGE PLAYS FROM DIFFERENT THEATER GROUPS. BUT HIS HOME BASE, REALLY, IS GANTIMPALA THEATER FOUNDATION.

RECENTLY, HE PORTRAYED THE MAIN LEAD CHARACTER IN GTF'S "FLORANTE AT LAURA"), AND THIS TIME AROUND, ASIDE FROM "FLORANTE AT LAURA", DIREK FRANNIE ZAMORA CASTED HIM AS ELIAS IN "KANSER 2017: THE NOVEL".

"THE MOMENT THAT BABYPUFF TOLENTINO, DIREK FRANNIE'S PRODUCTION MANAGER IN THE PLAY, ASKED ME IF I CAN PORTRAY THE ROLE OF ELIAS, I SAID YES IMMEDIATELY", PAUL JAKE TOLD A BLOGGER. "IT'S SUCH AN HONOR TO BE DIRECTED BY DIREK FRANNIE."

MEANWHILE, PAUL JAKE IS ALSO INTO DIRECTING. HE IS THE DIRECTOR OF THE CRITICALLY-ACCLAIMED "HAPPINESS IS A PEARL" (WRITTEN BY RODY VERA) BY THEIR NEWLY-FORMED THEATER COMPANY- ARTIST'S PLAYGROUND. AND FOR HIM, DIRECTING THIS PLAY IS ONE BIG CHALLENGE TO HIS ARTISTRY AS A PERSON.

"I CAN SAY NOW, I ENJOY THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS", PAUL JAKE SAID IN THE END. "DIRECTING AND ACTING ARE BOTH REWARDING FOR ME. I COULDN'T ASK FOR MORE!"

CATCH PAUL JAKE AS ELIAS IN "KANSER 2017: THE NOVEL"!!!! VERY SOON.
