Join us at ARTS at King Street Station for the workshop production of Tagalog sa King Street, a collection of one-act plays written and performed in the national language of the Philippines. With creative use of live English surtitles and shadow puppetry, non-Tagalog speaking audience can enjoy the innovative, brave, new voices selected from the prestigious Virgin Labfest of the Cultural Center of the Philippines. Tagalog sa King Street is presented by the creative team comprised of Lorna Velasco, Joyce Juan Manalo, Ai Lalo, Alyza DelPan-Monley, Arlo Magpoc, Nina De Torres Ignacio, Leah Mitts, Manny Golez, and Pia Rivera.

“Kung Paano Ako Naging Leading Lady” (How I became the Leading Lady), by Carlo Vergara, is a story of two sisters, Mely and Viva who turn a small grudge into a superhero battle between good and evil.

“Hintayan ng Langit” (Heaven’s Waiting Room), by Juan Miguel Severo, is about 67-year-old protagonist Manolo meeting his unrequited love, 64-year-old Lisang in purgatory. Their spiritual ascent is delayed until they resolve a lifetime worth of heartaches and regrets.
