Tanghalang SLU, the resident theater company of Saint Louis University under the SLU Center for Culture and the Arts opens its 10th Anniversary Theater Season. For this season, their explosive lineup of plays revolves around the theme: Gilas; Kalasag ng Buhay.

For this year 2008-2009, Tanghalang SLU will stage theater plays directed by Dan Rommel Riopay which showcase an array of strength, courage, love, vigor, passion, clarity, empathy, a fulfillment of life in its entirety, and man’s endless search for the essence of human existence.

We at the Tanghalang SLU invite you once again to come see the magic and grandeur of theater. We don’t guarantee to offer you what you desire the most but we assure to give you the best of theater experience. Eventually, as you watch our shows, a heart to heart conversation begins...a half-forgotten conversation with your true self.
