Dumaguete City in Negros Oriental has long been known as the Cultural Center of Southern Philippines, and for the first time ever, the Silliman University Cultural Affairs Committee, the city’s unofficial cultural arm, brings to Manila audiences an original new musical that will delight and educate, with a performance on 15 July 2015 at the Tanghalang Nicanor Abelardo of the Cultural Center of the Philippines, which is part of Silliman University’s commitment as the official regional cultural hub of the CCP.

Ampalaya the Musical is the new musical based on the popular children’s book by Augie Rivera, with music by Maestro Michael Dadap, and book and lyrics by Michael Dadap and Patty Yusah.

The story, about forgiveness and hope, is brought to scintillating and colorful life by acclaimed stage director Dessa Quesada-Palm, with musical direction by Elizabeth Susan Vista-Suarez. It is an all-Dumaguete production that features the coordinated talents of many of the city’s acclaimed artists and cultural workers.

The musical began as a short play, which debuted in 2000 in Boston. The full-length version debuted on 19 September 2014 at the Claire Isabel McGill Luce Auditorium in Silliman University.
