HOW TO JOIN

Always wanted to tread the boards?

Hone your talent?

Use your singing, dancing,

sewing or painting skills

somewhere they'll be appreciated?

You've come to the right place!

THE MADRID PLAYERS produces three to four shows a year, between September and June, ranging from cabarets and comedies to “classics” and Christmas pantomimes. We also have parties and get covered in paint (often at the same time). Whether you want to act, direct, hammer nails or help with PR and publicity, come along and meet the crowd – then, if you want to join, you can become a member for a yearly fee of just 35€ (Family membership: 55€).

This entitles you to take part in workshops and shows (if cast!), and obtain discounts on tickets for our shows in certain venues. There is no restriction in terms of nationality, but you do need to have a strong (preferably native) level of English to be cast in shows. We meet and rehearse at our Clubhouse, usually from 8.30pm to 10.30pm or 9pm to 11pm midweek, or on Saturday or Sunday mornings. However, rehearsal schedules obviously depend on the director and cast availability.

The address is:

Plaza Perseo, 9 (entrance on Calle Perseo, opposite number 16)

Sign above the door says CARAVANA Metro: Conde de Casal (5mn walk)

THEATRE MAKEUP WORKSHOP - PHOTOS!

FROM CATWALK TO STAGE!

Susannah Lewis's two-day workshop was a hit! We learnt about materials, how to prepare a makeup design, create the illusion of youth and age, and produced some great fantasy designs.

We're looking forward to the next edition - watch this space!

Here's a photo or two to give you an idea:

THE END OF A BUSY SEASON - WHAT NEXT?

The 2006-2007 season has been a busy one...

We celebrated the 100th anniversary of the birth of Samuel Beckett with BECKETT SHORTS, sponsored by the Irish Embassy Cultural Department, and went out on a limb with Eve Ensler's VAGINA MONOLOGUES. We proved with both of these ambitious shows that such material is well within our capabilities, and we also discovered that there is a much wider audience out there to cater for in the future.

We also produced a wonderful musial evening in April, I LOVE PARIS, showcasing just how much musical talent there also is in the group, and we wrapped up the season with a good old belly laugh: Alan Ayckbourn's classic comedy, CONFUSIONS.

So what next?

Pantomime of course! This Christmas, James Duggan will be directing everyone's all-time favourite: CINDERELLA. Keep your eye on this blog for audition dates in September, as well as for the performance dates in early December.

But before that comes our AUTUMN SHOW (to be confirmed). Once again: WATCH THIS SPACE!

Meanwhile, get some rest and enjoy the summer - and see you again in September for our first meeting of the new season!

WE HOPE YOU'VE ENJOYED THE SEASON.

THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING THE MADRID PLAYERS!
