'Ang Babae Sa Septic Tank 4: Oh Sh*t! It’s Live Sa Cheter!' cast revealed

Published Feb 26, 2026 6:55 pm

The Philippine Educational Theater Association has announced the headlining cast of Ang Babae Sa Septic Tank 4: Oh Sh*t! It's Live Sa Cheter! Eugene Domingo returns as the lead. 

This is the fourth installment in the Ang Babae Sa Septic Tank franchise, and the first theater production. It will run from June 19 to Aug. 16 at PETA Theater Center. 

The first film of this comedy franchise, Ang Babae Sa Septic Tank, came out in 2011, starring Domingo as herself in a spoof of the indie movie scene. The second film within a film, Ang Babae sa Septic Tank 2: #ForeverIsNotEnough, was released in 2016, and showed Domingo, again as herself, working on a comeback movie. Its third installment Ang Babae sa Septic Tank 3: The Real Untold Story of Josephine Bracken, came out in 2019, a mockumentary series that confronted historical revisionism. 

The fourth production is a play within a play, where Domingo navigates "ego, ambition, and the beautiful absurdity of mounting a live show." Joining her is a cast playing exaggerated versions of themselves.
