Virgin Labfest 5 Schedule
What I have learned from watching the Virgin Labfest from last year is that one set alone can drain you emotionally to the point that, for self-preservation, you become numb when watching a second set.
One set is composed of three one-act plays that range from 45 minutes to more than an hour. There are short breaks in between as the set is changed in preparation for the next production.
This year, I’m going to try and watch only one set per visit to the CCP to heighten the theater going experience. Below is the Virgin Labfest 5 Schedule, courtesy of Gibbs Cadiz
