A warmhearted musical comedy chronicles the experiences of six adolescent outsiders vying for the spelling championship of a lifetime. While candidly disclosing hilarious and touching stories from their home life, the tweens spell their way through a series of [potentially made-up] words hoping to never hear the soul-crushing, pout-inducing, life un-affirming "ding" of the bell that signals a spelling mistake.

Jepoy and Galis are invited to a wedding underneath a balete tree, in the middle of the dark forest.  No exact wedding date. They only have to wait for a sign: when it rains while the sun is shining, that's the time to go and witness the vows of the tikbalang couples.  Jepoy and Galis meet the tatlong Maria: Makiling, Cacao and Sinukuan of the mountains, the enormous Doña Geronima with her clean and shiny plates, the Spanish-speaking dwarf different characters and  creatures of the lower mythology. Yet this wondrous banquet is not just frolic and festivity.  It is also an urgent plea to the only human guest, Jepoy, no matter how young and poor he is,to tell his world to change things before it's too late. A play that reminds the children of all ages of our responsibility to take care of our environment.

Jean Genet, considered one of the few major figures of modern literature and drama, is also probably the most controversial. His youth was spent as prisoner, thief, male prostitute and vagabond. He wrote his first major work, Our Lady of the Flowers, in a prison, and having been discovered by the most important figures of French literature and philosophy (Jean Cocteau and Jean-Paul Sartre), he was hailed as one of the most important writers since Marcel Proust. After a period of prolific creation of plays, novels and essays, Jean Genet stopped writing for about 12 years.   But towards the later part of his life, he suddenly came out with an urgent, significant and poetic essay called Four Hours in Shatila, where he wrote his eye-witness account of the massacre of Palestinian civilians in Shatila by the Phalangists (and with the tacit aid of Israeli soldiers). This essay became the prelude to his last major book called Un Captif Amoureux (Prisoner of Love), a memoir of his roughly two-year stay with the Palestinian Liberation Army in the Middle East (in 1970s and later in 1982) and the Black Panthers in the USA.

Bilanggo ng Pag-ibig is an adaptation of the book’s major portions, focusing on his encounters with the the fedayeen rebels in Palestine. The play’s structure is contained by the last days of Jean Genet’s life where, holed up in a small hotel in Paris, he is battling throat cancer while frantically trying to finish the writing of his last masterpiece. Framed in conversations with his friend Leila Shahid, later to become the General Delegate of Palestine to the European Union, the play Bilanggo ng Pag-ibig seeks to understand and portray Jean Genet’s imagination, as well as his controversial insights on revolution, betrayal and deceit, homosexuality, terrorism, and love.

“Amphitryon” is a moral fable that challenges our deeply rooted beliefs about love, infidelity and identity. It presents a loving and faithful wife who is left alone by a husband-king engaged in battle. The god Jupiter falls in love with her, and disguises himself as her long-lost husband. After the disguise and deception the god-lover disappears, and the mortal husband, King Amphitryon, returns. Would she recognize the difference?

Five weary travelers and their bus driver find themselves stranded in the middle of the night, waiting out a snow storm. A nightclub chanteuse, a belligerent cowboy and his guitar-strumming sidekick, a hard-drinking college professor on the run from his past, the bus driver, the proprietor of the diner, and a naïve young waitress, reveal their hopes, dreams, loves and fears, while the town sheriff does his best to maintain order. As the temperature drops and the night progresses, tensions and passions rise in Inge's classic bittersweet comedy.
