Virgin Labfest 4 At CCP

The Virgin Labfest, a festival of new plays (untried, untested, unpublished and unstaged) by emerging and well-known playwrights, directors and actors will be held from June 25-July 6, 2008 at the Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP). The event is a joint venture of CCP, Tanghalang Pilipino and the Writers' Bloc, Inc. with the support of the National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA).

Now on its fourth year, the Virgin Labfest has earned a solid reputation for its exciting and provocative line-up of one-act plays from playwrights both young and old. This year's line-up includes plays by National Artist F. Sionil Jose, award-winning playwrights Layeta Bucoy, Tim Dacanay, Allan Lopez, Job Pagsibigan, Debbie Tan and Dennis Teodosio, as well as newcomers to the Festival such as Carlo Garcia, Anna Marie Gonzales, Jovi Miroy, Khavn de la Cruz and Malaysian writer Koh Jun Eiow.

Among those tapped to direct the plays are Virgin Labfest "veterans" Njel de Mesa, George de Jesus III, Cats Racsag, Tuxqs Rutaquio, Roobak Valle, J. Victor Villareal and Toshiisa Yoshida, and festival first-timers Chris Millado, Floy Quintos, Paolo O'Hara, Leo Rialp and Tiffany Santuyo. Rody Vera is the Festival's Artistic Director.

Ticket rates to the Virgin Labfest are P200. For further inquiries, please call the CCP Dramatic Arts Division at 832-1125 local 1607, or Tanghalang Pilipino at 832-3661, or send an SMS to 0928-5054424.
