Thousands flock to Don Bosco musical

CITY OF SAN FERNANDO -- Thousands over the weekend flocked to the world class LausGroup Event Centre here for the matinee and gala of the musical Don Bosco and the Lost Boys.

No less than Archbishop Florentino Lavarias, members of the Pampanga clergy, seminarians, Don Bosco Academy Bacolor alumni led Levy P. Laus and Architect Nestor Mangio and other supporters of the academy enjoyed the two-hour musical.

Don Bosco Academy Bacolor Rector Fr. Ditto Gueco told Sun.Star Pampanga that the musical aims to reintroduce the life of the Italian Salesian priest who was a "lost boy" himself.

"He was a lost boy himself. That is why he made it his vocation to help the youth by teaching and educating them. And this musical would be part the advocacy to continue that and impart his life to the younger generation of this times," he said.

He added that aside from the vocation campaign, the musical also serves as a fundraiser that will improve the facilities of Don Bosco Academy Bacolor which returned to its original campus when it was moved to Mabalacat after it was ravaged by lahar during the Mt. Pinatubo eruption.

Plans to bring the all-original Don Bosco and the Lost Boys - a collaboration of Don Bosco Academy, Teatro Kapampangan and ArtiSta. Rita - to Mabalacat City and other parts of the country are in the offing following its successful runs at the LausGroup Event Centre.
