Bravo! IPAG's 31st Season

CEBU, Philippines – A total of 60,000 people, including two large-crowd advocacies, witnessed the 60-plus performances nationwide of the Integrated Performing Arts Guild (IPAG), resident theatre company of the MSU-Iligan Institute of Technology.

IPAG continued to journey the islands with this season’s 4 full-feature productions and new showcases.

Even as favorites Tales From Mindanao and Tatlo Sa Isa continued to excite large audiences, good notices have come in for its landmark musical Ranaw: Isang Alamat in a 25-show run including features for the Cultural Center of the Philippines’ Ruby year.

Innovative theatre perked the audiences up as IPAG translated poetry in its season cap, Tula Tugma sa Sayaw at Dula, an 11-show run in Iligan City last March.

Tula is a multi-media production that transcreates the works of poets nurtured in the Southern Philippines: Marge Evasco, Don Pagusara, Ralph Semino Galan, Anthony Tan, German Gervacio, and Christine Godinez-Ortega.

Tula is next season’s road tour offering, among others.

The Earth Hour simulcast countdown in Cagayan de Oro City last March 28 featured the IPAG. The Guild also performed in a mammoth Truthfest rally at the Rajah Solaiman

Theater in Manila last year.

Presenting the IPAG this season are the National Commission for Culture and the Arts, Super Ferry, Pioneer Insurance and Surety Corporation, and the MSU-IIT.
