This chapter offers the key theoretical, conceptual, and methodological operations of the book by providing a brief background of Philippine theatre, the book’s primary questions and main objectives, as well as the roadmap of each constitutive chapter. It makes a case for the necessity of systematic and sustained scholarship on the role of theatre-making in the production and dissemination of migrant stereotypes, discourses, and narratives in the Philippines from the 1970s to 2010.
