The 10 fellows accepted to the program will be mentored by Glenn Sevilla Mas, a multiaward-winning playwright, and will be given access to all Virgin Labfest 15 plays and selected rehearsals as part of their mentorship. 

The fellowship program will conclude in a staged reading of the fellows’ works directed by Dennis Marasigan at the CCP Bulwagang Amado Hernandez on July 7.  This culminating program is free of charge and open to the public. 

The Virgin Labfest 15 Writing Fellowship Program is a project of the CCP Artist Training Division of the Arts Education Department.
