mnor madamesila – Tara Tries To Write

Another #RomanceClass covers shoot, done and dusted!

I organized another #RomanceClass covers shoot after almost three years, and it was so much fun (as usual)! 🩷

So backstory: When I started conceptualizing Isagani’s book as early as 2018, I had another actor in mind for the cover. (Yung mga OG Alvez fans diyan, alam niyo na.) Unfortunately, I didn’t get a response from him when I reached out. Hindi ko na rin na-follow up kasi libro pa ni Datu ang sinusulat ko nun.

Fast forward to 2025, I was making significant progress with the book and really had to look for someone to be my cover kuya.

Teatro Lakambini has a new face!

Waiting in the Wings has a new cover! How much do you lab it?

Say hello to the new cover of Waiting in the Wings! The cover now features MNor Madamesila and Gio Gahol, photographed by Chi Yu Rodriguez. Design and lettering by Miles Tan.

It’s been six years since the release of Waiting in the Wings, my romance novella set in Manila’s musical theatre world, and while I didn’t have any urgent plans to change its cover, the idea had been simmering in my mind for a while. In February this year, PETA Theater opened its doors to a new Filipino musical entitled Walang Aray (an adaptation of Severino Reyes’ Walang Sugat), and it captured my heart instantly and prompted all of this madness.
