SNB Theater Festival continues to champion aspiring talents and underdogs this October 24-27, 2024 at the Tanghalang Ignacio Gimenez (Black Box Theater). This year is special as SNB is celebrating its 10th Anniversary. It's also extra-special as the theaterfest expands its unique platform, not just to playwrights, directors & performers, but also to newbie SONGWRITERS.
Prospective Songwriters--numbering 30 with 80 compositions combined among them--were asked to submit songs from which only one song per composer will be picked by six new directors (from a field of 40). From this chosen song, a partnership is forged to create a 15-min musical; a total of six diverse musicals that will be further developed with the addition of performers (chosen from 70 auditionees). Mentoring them in the process are composer & sound designer/engineer TJ Ramos and playwright Juan Ekis.
