46th Samahang Pilipino Cultural Night
On Saturday, May 20, 2023, Samahang Pilipino will present its 46th Annual Samahang Pilipino Cultural Night (SPCN). SPCN raises awareness and appreciation for the Pilipinx and Pilipinx-American culture through a cast of 300+ students performing traditional dances with an original script and musical production.
For 46 years, SPCN has served as an avenue to highlight the strength and resilience of the Pilipinx community. We hope to maintain this dedication and solidarity of learning and performing through SPCN’s values of one family and cultural edutainment.
Below is a budget breakdown of this year's production costs and what your donation will go towards.
This year, our show title is “Aking Pangarap, Ating Tadhana” meaning “My Dream, Our Destiny.” Here is the synopsis:
What is the cost of leaving your mark on this world? That’s the question Cecelia Salazar—an ambitious 20-something songwriter— has to answer. When she serenades the ever-supportive Joey with a centuries old love song, she unwittingly catches the attention of the mysterious Agent H who catapults her into fame. As Cecelia dreams of a conflicted haranista in the heart of late-1800s Manila and of a tribe on the brink of invasion in pre-colonial Mindanao, she struggles with her newfound stardom and must decide: her friends and family or the future she’s always wanted.
Productions like these give students like us the opportunity to explore their heritage while helping educate the audience on a larger scale on the importance of keeping stories alive, to continue on the legacy and traditions that arise from it. Your donation allows us to keep this production alive.
