==History==

Dulaang UP is the official performing group for theater of the [[ University of the Philippines]]. Dulaang UP is based at the UP [[Department of Speech Communication and Theater Arts]] ([[DSCTA]]), which runs the sole formal theater training program in the country leading to the completion of undergraduate and graduate degrees as well as a certificate course. It employes the conservatory approach to training where enrollees enjoy maximum guidance in performance and production from scholars, practitioners, leading stage and film artists, and recognized personages in theater.

Dulaang UP was originally conceived in 1976 by Professor Emeritus [[Antonio Mabesa]] to be the production arm of the DSCTA. Dulaang UP is devoted to the staging of their original and translated versions, classics by master playwrights as well as mounting powerful and incisive masterworks by professional and promising Filipino playwrights. Dulaang UP has taken the lead in producing plays that enhance the appreciation of literature, the humanities, and the social sciences, in the University.

In 1978, Tony Mabesa invited Behn Cervantes and Anton Juan, Jr. to be co-artistic directors. Leticia H. Tison, then chairman of the department, joined them as Managing Director. From its beginnings, Dulaang UP continues to be faithful to the vision of its founder and to those who came after him.

Dulaang UP productions are staged at two venues: the 300-seater Wilfrido Ma. Guerrero Theater at Palma Hall and the Teatro Hermogenes Ylagan at the [[Bulwagang Rizal]]. Both are located on the [[University of the Philippines Diliman]] campus in Quezon City. With its regular University Theater Season of four to five plays in every academic year, Dulaang UP has staged more than 100 plays to date.

Under the Dulaang UP umbrella is the '''UP Playwrights' Theater''' which stages original plays by Filipino playwrights and has ventured into reviving the zarzuela. The UP Playwrights Theater also serves as the venue for new works of prize-winning local playwrights. The plays are staged at the 200-seater [[Teatro Hermogenes Ylagan]] (formerly Faculty Center Studio). Auxiliary to this is the Dulaang Laboratoryo which also serves as a training ground for Theater Arts students enrolled in their thesis subject as well as in special projects, directing, acting, lighting, production design, and production management courses. Under the supervision of a faculty member, productions are mounted at the end of the semester as a final requirement for the above-mentioned courses.

Dulaang UPs holistic approach to the staging of plays provides students with a fuller and deeper understanding of theater. Having been thoroughly trained in Dulaang UP's productions, graduates eventually join various professional theater companies or organize their own theater groups or join the academe. Dulaang UP also enjoys unwavering financial support from the UP Office of the President, Office of the Chancellor, and occasionally from the [[Cultural Center of the Philippines]], the [[National Commission for Culture and the Arts]] ([[NCCA]]), and other allied institutions.

Dulaang UP will continue to mount productions of outstanding quality to bring world dramatic literature to the University community and beyond. it will equally encourage Filipino play-writing to add to the wealth of material in Philippine culture.

Dulaang UP remains committed to honoring the student's craft and artistry as it nurtures their sensibility as human beings.
