Tanghalang Pilipino’s Lam-ang starring JC Santos in the titular role will be streaming online starting on June 12!

Lam-ang is an ethno-epic musical that reimagines and reinterprets Biag ni Lam-ang, the oldest among the folk epics of Luzon, and is inspired by the published Ilocano version of Isabelo delos Reyes and tagalog translations of Angel Acacio and Ariel Tabag. It was staged last December 6 to 15, 2019 at the CCP Little Theater.
