TANGHALANG PILIPINO PRESENTS A NEW MUSICAL PLAY
FOR CHILDREN OF ALL AGES


Through a grant from the National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA),
The Cultural Center of the Philippines’ resident theater company, Tanghalang Pilipino (TP) presents Dugtong-Dugtong na Sumbong (Ang Hukuman ni Sinukuan), the
third production in its 24th Theater Season (2010-2011) that celebrates the
National Artist as a modern Filipino IDOL. Adapted for the stage by Liza
Magtoto, Dugtong-Dugtong na Sumbong (Ang Hukuman ni Sinukuan) is based on National Artist for Literature Virgilio Almario’s re-telling of the popular tale. It combines a folktale about the mosquito that is common to a lot of Asian countries with one that is uniquely Filipino about the kingdom of Mariang Sinukuan in Pampanga.

With music by Jed Balsamo and production design by Patty
Eustaquio, Dugtong-Dugtong na Sumbong (Ang Hukuman ni Sinukuan) promises to be a fun and exciting feast for all the senses
where set pieces ingeniously transform into costumes that turn actors into
different characters right before the audience's eyes. Dugtong-Dugtong na Sumbong (Ang Hukuman ni Sinukuan), will be
staged under the artistic vision of Tess Jamias, an alumna of the TP Actors
Company whose directorial work for Tanghalang Pilipino includesR.A. W., The Lover, Pamaypay, Kutsilyo, Yantok, and most recently, Apples from the Desert.

Dugtong-Dugtong na Sumbong (Ang Hukuman ni Sinukuan), musical play for children of all ages features spectacular performances
from actors who sing, move, and play musical instruments while giving life to a
variety of animal characters. The cast of multi-talented performers include Nina
Angela Rumbines (as Mariang Sinukuan), Abner Delina, Marc AnthonyFalcon and
Michael Ian Lomongo.

The world premier of Dugtong-Dugtong na Sumbong (Ang Hukuman ni Sinukuan) is on November 12, 2010, at 3:00 in the afternoon.
