LJ Reyes Tries Theatre For The First Time And Renews Her Exclusive Contract With GMA-7

LJ REYES is really dead set on testing her limits as an actress. After going daring in the new movie “Anino sa Likod ng Buwan” by Director Jun Lana, she now tries doing theatre in the stage play “Juego de Peligro”, a local adaptation of “Dangerous Liaisons”, originally a French novel rewritten as a play about seduction and betrayal among the aristocracy by Christopher Hampton. It also became an acclaimed 1988 Hollywood film directed by Stephen Frears and starring Glenn Close, John Malkovich, Michelle Pfeiffer and Keanu Reeves. LJ will do the Michelle role while Shamaine Buencamino does Glenn Close, Arnold Reyes does Malkovich while Lharby Policarpio and Vin Abrenica alternate in the Keanu role. This will be shown from February 20 up to March 8 at the CCP Little Theater (Tanghalang Aurelio Tolentino.)

“I really want to do a stage play kasi iba talaga ang disiplina sa teatro,” says LJ. “And so far, I’m enjoying myself kasi puro magagaling ang mga kasama ko.”

LJ has also just renewed her exclusive contract with GMA, along with Chynna Ortaleza and Ervic Vijandre. “I have a good relationship with the network at ang feeling ko, dito na ko tatagal hanggang sa gumanap na ako ng mother roles and lola roles.”

With regard to her lovelife, LJ is now more open about her romance with JC de Vera. “Yes, we’re dating. Lumalabas kami. But we’re still getting to know each other.”

LJ continues to be seen as the contravida, Flora, in “Yagit”. Last week, as a special treat to the show’s fans, they gave a special showing of “Annie” for the children of the Child Hope Foundation and their Facebook followers at SM Megamall. This week, James Blanco as Victor is engaged to be married to Bettina Carlos as Izel. James feels he’s still in love with Yasmien Kurdi as Dolores, the mother his daughter, Chlaui Malayao as Elisa, but he is jealous because Paolo Contis as Rex claims that he and Yasmien are already in a relationship.
