Auditions this week - Edgar Allan Poe

Everyone is welcome to audition for our autumn show, an evening to commemorate the

200th anniversary of the birth of
Edgar Allan Poe

The auditions are on

Tuesday 16th and Wednesday 17th June

at

21.00

at the

clubhouse
(Plaza Perseo, 9
Metro: Conde de Casal)

This show is being put on by Richard Carlow and Aki Ginory, and they would love to see you for one of the auditions. If you can't make it on either of the dates, but are still keen to be involved, then please contact them at zishe@aol.com or aki@aol.com.

The show will be performed in October 2009 and it promises to be a wonderful, atmospheric show of short dramatisations, readings, music and poems.

Aki and Richard are looking for volunteers to help them off stage, as well as on, so please get in touch with them if you can help out in production, stage management, lights etc.

See you at the auditions and good luck!!

PLAY READING GROUP - Monday 1st June

Next Monday 1^st June at 20.30 at the clubhouse, The Madrid Players is starting a play reading group.

The aim of the group is for different writers, members or potential directors to bring along a play for us to read and work on – one play per evening. It’s a perfect way to ‘sound out’ a script that you know and would like to hear and maybe develop further.

It’s a great way to try things out, both as actors and writers, so please come along and get involved.

Vic Gibson is co-ordinating this group, so please email him, vic@shipsandoil.com, and let him know you’ll be coming. He’ll be providing the script for the first week, but is keen to hear from others with more scripts.

Hopefully there’ll be enough interest to be able to have regular meeting next season. See you there!

THANK YOU!

The cast, crew and production team of Earnest wish to thank our audience for their wonderful response and generous praise for the show.
We endeavoured to give satisfaction... Thank you!

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)
