Meet “the bad boy of Philippine theater,” at least according to his detractors.

Vincent “Vince” M. Tañada is a member of the politically prominent Tañada clan. The late great Lorenzo Tañada, who led demonstrations against the Marcos dictatorship, was a granduncle.

Now on its 15th season, Stagers, with conservatory-trained Pipo Cifra as resident composer, has mounted a slew of historical and sociopolitical musicals, presented first in Manila and then in many cities across the land. One of them, Kerwin Larena, was interested in law, so Tañada obtained for him a scholarship at San Beda. Later, however, Larena gravitated toward show biz, and he is now a mainstay on TV’s “It’s Showtime,” “Nang Ngumiti ang Langit.”Stagers’ musicals are aimed at the student market and are staged at SM Cinemas in Metro Manila, and then in schools all over the country.Tañada’s aggressive tactics have turned off some people in theater circles and social media.
