PLAY 2D BEAT: An Open Dance Competition from Playhouse Production

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Playhouse Production goes back to where it all began…

Since the time that the issue caused turmoil in the whole HAJA PARTY event planning, founder Michelle Ann Rio tried to find ways to pursue the concept against all odds. “We invited more people to help us out in the event, tried to partner with another Kpop event producing outfit, added a little spice into our program and almost signed a deal to guest an artist on our show”, Michelle shares.

However, when the terms in the final revision of the contract has not been agreed to by both parties, that’s when Michelle decided to call it off. “The manager of the group has so many last minute demands even a few days before we sign. Also, I found out that the group may possibly be out of the country during the day of the event. That’s a risk I’m definitely not willing to take”, Michelle adds.

Having so many Kpop events in the same month, Michelle has decided to expand the event’s market by making it instead an open dance competition, that’s when PLAY 2D BEAT was born. Having been one of the pioneer team of Dancepinoy.com, Michelle has established closed ties with different event organizers and promoters in the dancing field, not limited to Kpop. “I re-connected with my old friends in the industry and told them my situation. They were glad that I’m going back to organizing open dance competitions and were very supportive to help out,” Michelle says. The confirmed Kpop media, sponsors, merchandisers and groups were informed of the event’s program re-format and most will still support the show.

The Shrimp Shack: Suck, Peel, Eat and Enjoy!

Any food lover will tell you that the real draw of Oahu's North Sphere in Hawaii are the shrimp trucks. The shrimp truck business has flourished to this day and most of the popular ones are still packing long lines daily by tourists and locals alike.

The Shrimp Shack (TSS) intends to capture the culinary experience of traveling to this wonderful destination by giving their guests an authentic Hawaiian Shrimp Scampi experience. To ensure freshness and high-quality, they use fresh, local, in-shell, white shrimps. As the locals of Oahu do, it is best to suck the shrimp first to get all that tasty flavor in your mouth, peel of the shell, eat and lastly to enjoy!

These are my kind of dishes since I really love shrimps, prawns, and most seafood out there. They would always be the first ones I will pick from the menu, and my preferred choice in all buffets. I will never grow tired of eating shrimps
