Precolonial time
During the prehistoric times, theater in the Philippines was in the form of indigenous
rituals, verbal jousts or games, or songs and dances to praise gods. According to the early
chronicles, prehistoric dramas consisted of three elements – myths, mimesis, and
spectacle.
These mimetic performances mostly dramatized primitive rituals and epic poetry about
deities and mythical legends, where the spirits of the deities would seemingly possess a
catalonan (priest) or babaylan (priestess).
Spanish regime
When the Spaniards reached our shores, they used dramas such as zarzuelas as a
pedagogical tool to influence the pagan tribes and teach them about Christianity and
religion.
Another important form of theater popularized during the Spanish colonization is the
comedia, also known as moro – moro, linambay, or arakyo. It is a play in verse that
portrays the lives, loves, and wars of moors and Christians.

way of life through education, media, and language. Their influence on Philippine theater
is the most apparent through the bodabil (vaudeville) and in the plays and dramas staged
or translated into English.
After the Japanese occupation, the Philippine theatre has evolved to become an
amalgamation of the various influences such as the zarzuelas, comedia, bodabil, and
western classics. Theater was largely performed in English during the time, as it became
a large part of classroom education.
