[edit] The Magwayen Name
The name Magwayen was derived from the Philippine History books. He was a Visayan deity for the underworld, inspiring present-day scholars to conquer the "other" world - the stage, literature and performing arts.
[edit] Divisions
[edit] The Dramatics Ensemble
Throughout the years, Magwayen has been renowned from producing original stage productions, from the epic musical "Bidasari" Ang Prinsepe ng Marulaya" and comedy "Señorita Pretenciosa", to the darker dramas "Casa Ligaya" and "Trajedia La Vida".
On September 20, 2007, Magwayen staged its boldest and most daring play to date, "X" (Eks) at the Tangahalang Manileño of the PLM. The said stage production is composed of ten short plays that depict the different facets of the Philippine society.
[edit] Performing Arts Group
Magwayen is proud of its performing arts division for creating edgy and riveting production numbers. Every performance was a guaranteed hit inspiring the group to produce concerts featuring the University’s home grown talents. The legendary Incunabula, jam-packed MMI, the celebrated Chill out at WOW and the Artist Fest 2006 were among the notable student concerts produced by the guild.
[edit] The Literary Division
Aside from producing its own play, Magwayen has also been writing for the guild’s productions. Students found a new way of speaking their hearts and soul through a variety of literary masterpieces.
Some of their productions are "Bidasari", "Señorita Pretenciosa", "Hawla", "Tatlong Mukha", "Ang Principe ng Marulaya", "Live Act" (comedy anthology, now with its 3rd installment), "Indrapura," and many more. This proves that the guild has proven the artistry of PLM students in the arts.
