Core theater spaces
PETA Theater Center, RCBC Plaza, Proscenium Theater, The Theatre at Solaire, Ateneo de Manila University spaces, FEU performance spaces, and other venues help define the current Manila stage landscape.
Live performance spaces
Ayala Museum, MiraNila Heritage House, concert halls, cultural venues, black box stages, campus theaters, and museum-based programs extend the coverage beyond traditional theater into music, recital, and performance culture.
