Mind’s Eye blends literature, poetry and the arts, bringing to life a heartwarming travel experience in rich detail. The book seeks to engage readers to understand the importance of reading and the arts. Through Mind’s Eye, the viewers will be transported to Italy, exploring its landmarks, museums, and galleries, like the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, which houses the world’s biggest collection of important Renaissance art — including Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael, and Botticelli. On top of its amazing journey, Mind’s Eye touches on the power of relationships and imagination to conquer physical limitations. Mind’s Eye aims to teach audiences to dream and harness their imagination to achieve their goals.

“Reading books stretches our imagination. This play alludes to this marvel and hopes to inspire us to be more positive, open and caring. More importantly, it reminds us to constantly challenge our ideas,” said Virata. The book seamlessly translates to the stage, and many were moved in last year’s production.
“If your eyes were closed as they described the scenery and made things ‘more real,’ you could have practically been with them there in Italy as well,” said Clarice Tee, a 14 year old audience member.

Virata will be joined by a stellar cast, comprising of Caisa Borromeo, Red Concepcion, and Naths Everett, with the special participation of renowned theater actress Naty Crame Rogers.
