MANILA -- Brent Manalo, Kolette Madelo, and Jarren Garcia will make their theater debut in the upcoming play &quot;The Art of Breaking Up.&quot;The stage production, based on George de Jesus III&#x27;s &quot;Kung Paano Maghiwalay,&quot; is a collaboration of PETA Plus and Teatro Kapamilya. Manalo admitted the challenge, albeit out of his comfort zone, is something he is excited about. &quot;Kabado. Grabe pressure pag pasok ko dito sa kwarto—I was greeted by such a talented and amazing cast. Mas dumoble pressure sa&#x27;kin. Teatro kasi malaki galaw. Ever since I have been meek, tahimik, so bago ito sa akin,&quot; he said Friday at the PETA Theater in Quezon city. Madelo likewise added she is looking forward to the experience despite her nerves. &quot;Kinakabahan pero excited kasi first time ko mag-script reading and mag-perform,&quot; she said. Garcia, meanwhile, sees theater as an opportunity to further grow as a performer. &quot;I was super excited to do it. It is a good way for artists to hone their skills, whether singing, acting. Theater has all the fundamentals to train a good artist,&quot; Garcia said. &quot;The Art of Breaking Up&quot; will run in November.<div><a class="fr-green fr-strong" href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/lifestyle/people-culture-events/2026/6/14/janella-salvador-jake-cuenca-nikki-valdez-join-cast-of-the-art-of-breaking-up-1837">READ: Janella Salvador, Jake Cuenca, Nikki Valdez join cast of &#x27;The Art of Breaking Up&#x27;</a></div>
