Vera has been performing on stage since the ’90s in local and international plays and musicals such as Kahapon, Ngayon at Bukas, 1896, Noli Me Tangere, Mardi Gras, Top or Bottom, Good People, The Year of No Return, The Crucible, The Dawn Musical, Stageshow, Rak of Aegis, Old Gaze, and Tiny Beautiful Things, to name a few.
 

Vera has also appeared in the TNS production of godeatgod, which toured several theater festivals in Hong Kong, Romania, and Hungary. His acting career began in the ’80s with Mike de Leon’s Sister Stella L., Lino Brocka’s Ora Pro Nobis, and Mel Chonglo’s Lucia.

Into The Woods is based on James Lapine’s book, who also directed the original Broadway run. The plot intertwines several fairy tale characters and dramatically portrays the impact of human choices and actions.
