After a fruitful and successful run, the VLF XX — now truly Hinog — returns for a special one-night-only extension on July 24, 8 PM, at the CCP Tanghalang Ignacio B. Gimenez (CCP Blackbox Theater). 

Dubbed VLF XX: Extended, the one-night-only performance will feature selected plays from its recently-concluded 20th edition – MINATING NI MARIAH ANG MANTO NG MOMMY NI MAMA MARY by Eljay Castro Deldoc, PRESIDENTIAL SUITE #2 by Siege Malvar, and DON’T MEOW FOR ME, CATRIONA by Ryan Machado

VLF XX: Hinog Extension

In Deldoc’s one-act play, former con artist Mariah repents his sin by joining the annual Lenten Exhibit. However, things turn when Mariah is accused of stealing the antique veil of St. Mary Magdalene.

In his biting VLF debut, Malvar presents a darkly comedic glimpse into the Philippine political landscape. When Senator Zaragoza falls into a coma after being accused of money laundering during a Senate hearing, her children step into the spotlight—eager to keep the family’s political legacy (and scandals) alive. 

A daughter finally pursues her dreams in Machado’s play. While waiting for the bus with her mother, she reflects on the complex familial love that binds and breaks families. For the extended run, actress Manok Nellas will step into the role originally played by TV-theater actress Angelica Panganiban. 

Tickets for VLF XX: Extended’s are priced at P800 (regular) and P1000 (premium), available at Ticketworld and Ticket2Me websites, and at the CCP TIG Box Office.
