In 2004, SPIT spearheaded Spontaneous Combustion: The First Philippine Improv Festival at the Cultural Center of the Philippines. They participated in the 3rd National Theater Festival where they premiered SARSKWELA: Ang Sarswelang Kwela , a completely improvised twist on the traditional Filipino Sarswela. In 2009 they opened two new works at the Cultural Center of the Philippines - Cambiar! an improvised educational environment themed show for the CCP’s Earth Day Celebration and Dingdong! Death is at the Door, an improvised long form murder mystery show for the 5th Virgin Labfest.
