The Virgin Laboratory Theater Festival
|
|
The Cultural Center of the Philippines’ (CCP) 2008 Virgin
Laboratory Theater Festival ends tonight. Give yourself a treat.
Perhaps you can still catch one of the trilogies of one-act plays or
at least a reading.
This year’s festival started on June 25. Like
last year, CCP gave the festival two Friday-to-Sunday weekends and
there were some shows also on Thursday.
The line-up of productions under the Virgin
Labfest 4 program—so named because this is the fourth such
festival—includes plays by the novelist and National Artist F.
Sionil Jose, award-winning playwrights Layeta Bucoy, Tim Dacanay,
George de Jesus 3rd, George Vail Kabristante, Allan Lopez, Job
Pagsibigan, Floy Quintos, Debbie Tan, J. Dennis Teodosio and Argel
Tuazon, as well as newcomers to the Festival such as Carlo Garcia,
Anna Maria Gonzales, Jovi Miroy, Khavn de la Cruz and Malaysian
writer Koh Jun Eiow.

CSR hogwash
|
|
My idea of the enlightened rich is Pedro Abad Santos. He gave away
his land and everything he had, his material possession a baggage to
his cause. Then, with his books and his high ideals of social
justice, preached among the peasantry about agrarian serfdom,
struggle and liberation.

hills had money, they had nothing to buy.
