These are active groups in Manila, Philippines.
Information is accurate at time of publication. Subject to change without prior notice.
Tip for contacting Manila-based theater groups: most theater groups in the Philippines run on lean administrative staff and limited budgets, most do not have fulltime email checkers/webmasters, therefore, it is best to call (during office hours, Mon to Fri; some theater groups' offices are closed on Mondays).
Please note that most theater groups have administrative offices that are separate from the locations of the venues where they perform.
