Pattaya Players

[LordFlash 45]

Pattaya Players (home of Pattaya's Professional Amateurs) is currently posting open audition calls for actors interested in performing in their upcoming Halloween and Christmas Productions. The Christmas audition will take place at 6:00 PM on Wednesday, September 10th at The Cavanaugh Community Center. If you are interested in the Halloween audition, please email pattayaplayers@gmail.com for further details.

 

The Halloween event will be a Haunted Ghost Tour entitled, "Path Of Phantoms, Poltergeists and Pagans" and was written by local Pattaya resident, Christopher Parsons who will also direct the production. A meeting date will soon be announced for people interested in being tour guides and live-action ghosts. In addition to the tour, there will be a myriad of Halloween games for children, plus plenty of food and drink for all! More details regarding the event will be released in the coming weeks.

 

The Christmas production will be a a British comedy entitled, "A Dickens' Christmas Carol" written by Mark Landon Smith. This traveling travesty in two tumultuous acts centers around The Styckes Upon Thump Repertory Company who embarks on their fifteenth annual tour of the Dickens classic. When the company's diva feigns illness, certain the production will be canceled, this merry troupe of over the hill and upstart actors carry on without her. Roles are shuffled and the sweet understudy suddenly finds herself on stage knowing only one line of dialogue. She has written her part in and on almost everything, including the Christmas pudding! Midway through the doomed performance, the diva rushes in to reclaim her role. Total mayhem ensues as the company scrambles to keep the show going while everything goes hilariously wrong!

 

If you are interested in trying out for either of these productions or are interested in providing back-stage help or production support -- please plan on attending the christmas audition and/or email us regarding the Halloween production!

im interested in comeing to see each of the plays, especially at christmas, but can you enlighten us why the last one had to be done at indian by nature, it just seems like a money makeing scam for the restaurant that never has any customers??? or is it pressure from the indian community leaders, either way i wouldnt go to this one as it stank of 1300 baht for a crap restaurant, the first play you did at the hospital was fairly priced and a better location, please let us know where the plays will be held

Thank MM - Will do.

 

Big Mick - The last "show" was a murder mystery evening which are traditionally held in a restaurant or over a dinner. It's an evening of improvisation and audience participation. Indian By Nature are one of the sponsors of the Pattaya Players so it was agreed to hold the event there. I wasn't involved but understand it was a big success.

 

Future shows will be held at the BPH as the first one was. Look forward to seeing you there.

 

Cheers!
