The two-week mentorship program will focus on the study and practice of dramatic writing for the stage. They will also be given tickets to this year’s Virgin Labfest plays and selected rehearsals, as well as the opportunity to participate in post-show talkbacks and interact with playwrights, directors and selected actors. The Virgin Labfest is a distinguished annual festival of unpublished, unstaged, untried and untested works of playwrights, directors and actors. It has gained its reputation by producing provocative and outstanding “virgin” plays, most of which have been recognized by the Carlos Palanca Memorial Awards for Literature, the country’s most prestigious literary competition.
