The Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP) officially opened the doors of its new theater last September 8 with a special “unboxing” show featuring excerpts of the first performance season.

The inauguration of the CCP Black Box comes 30 years after the last building was erected in the complex and this event was part of the CCP’s 53rd anniversary.
