High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Tanghalang Ateneo, the longest-running theatre company of Loyola Schools, Ateneo de Manila University, weaves into its work the theatrical traditions of the University’s sesquicentennial past: the devotion of the salon de actos at the Escuela Municipal, the eloquence of the Ateneo Dramatics Guild, the joie de vivre of the Ateneo Players Theatre, and the innovative spirit of the Ateneo Experimental Theatre. Like these companies, Tanghalang Ateneo uses the theatre to foster eloquentia, sapientia, and humanitas – the pillars of Jesuit pedagogy. It sees itself as a theater company in the service of student formation, and by extension, given the Jesuit ideal of magis, a theater as well in the service of the nation.
