Behind the scenes

The Starlight Players are a lively and thriving drama group based in Criccieth, North Wales and have been performing to theatergoers for well over 30 years. Some of the founder members are still members of Starlight Players today. We undertake many different kinds of productions from panto to serious drama, and normally produce two productions a year.
The Starlight Players are affiliated with NODA, the National Operatic & Dramatic Association.

In the Spotlight...

  When we’re not rehearsing for our next production or performing to cheering audiences, we often get together for the odd social gathering. The Starlight Players is more than just your regular amateur theatrical society, we're also great friends.

 SUMMER SHOW 2013

 As previously indicated, the production for the summer will be a time-travel themed variety show to be performed on Tuesday evenings from 16^th July through to 3^rd September.  I need actors, dancers, singers and all manner of technicians and helpers!   The SPYDRs are also going to be involved (I will be writing to parents separately).

There is meeting for anyone interested on Sunday 17^th March at 6.30pm in the Squash Club.  I do not intend to hold separate auditions for this sort of show but on the 17^th, there will be a reading of the whole script, and I also want to create a basic “set” of chairs/tables etc so that when people are reading from a script, it is acted more so that everyone gets more of a feel for the parts and the story than just sat around in a circle reading in turn.  Everyone can then indicate (in writing) what they would like to be considered for.  If we have new members, or if existing members perhaps want to go for a speaking part (and haven’t before), or want to show us that they can sing (and have not sung solo before with us), or want to wow us with a hidden talent, then those people can stay behind and show me what they can do!!  I will then try and cast the show to get a good mix of people and ensure everyone can be involved in some way, but to give a great production.  There is enough flexibility in the variety show format to allow for people’s holidays, and also to potentially fit in some additional items if, for example, someone comes forward and shows us they can juggle whilst riding a unicycle or, can do magic tricks, or can play the trumpet whilst drinking a glass of water!!

 So PLEASE come along on the 17^th and hear what the show is about and how you can get involved.
