The home of experimental theater is back for its ninth run, hosting a new series of Òuntried, untested, unpublished, and unstagedÓ plays from emerging and established playwrights. This festival is known among circles for being provocative and daring, staging plays from Þrsttime playwrights (the virgins), Þrst-time writers (the extra-virgins), and seasoned playwrights (the born-again virgins).

This yearÕs run will have exciting and unconventional works from Jimmy Flores, Ariel S.R. Yonzon, George de Jesus III, Melvin Lee, Herlyn Alegre, Lawrence Fajardo, Liza C. Magtoto, Ed Lacson Jr., Dominique La Victoria, Charles Yee, Eljay Castro Deldoc, Marlon Rivera, Bernadette Neri, JK Anicoche, Em Mendez, Roobak Valle, Carlo Vergara, Chris Martinez, Benjamin Pimentel, Chris Millado, Aizel Cabilan, Guelan Luarca, and Emmanuel Dela Cruz.

Virgin Labfest will be staged at the CCP from June 27 to July 8. If you need to ask why you should watch, perhaps the festivalÕs tagline should be enough: May mas sasarap pa ba?
