T wo new comedies premiere in Iligan
Bak2Bak, a twin bill of one act
comedies goes onstage in January at the Rooftop Theater of the MSU-IIT College
of Arts and Social Sciences. These plays display in a hilarious light the
artificial relationships between couples and their acknowledgments of their
awkward situations in fleeting, yet theatrical, moments. The twin bill features
"Babuyan Island" by three-time Palanca-winner German Gervacio and "Isa Pang
Kawing" by Steven Patrick C. Fernandez.
Updates and other information will be up in this web site
soon.
