Finally a North Coast Theater Company in the Dominican Republic
The North Coast Players, an Amateur Dramatic Company founded by Judith Fox-Hogg have started strongly with their initial auditions for their first Play "Wait Until Dark"
Judith once played the lead role of the blind girl 'Suzy' in the play performed in Zambia, Africa.
The Company will be based in the Casa Marina Reef Amphitheater, Sosua, which holds 300 people and from their the Company will probably tour the country with their plays in the south and in the tourist development of Playa Dorada.
The cast and crew come from all over the World and to the delight of the Producer and Director, there turned out to be a wealth of experienced stage film and TV people living in the D.R. delighted to become part of this new venture.
The first Play is a Thriller and set in London in the 1960's. The Director for the first play will be Linda Love, who herself has over 15 years in both antional and international theater. Stage Manager will be Elaine Johnson Brown.
Auditions were held on 17th May and were actually inundated with volunteers willing to either act or help in some way.
The Play will be performed in December 2009 at the Amphitheater.
"We have already had requests for tickets for goups coming into the island over the Christmas period. We are hoping to offer a package will will include Pre-Theater Dinner, Performance and for those from the Puerto Plata area, the possibiltiy of transport as well! " says Judith
Our idea is to raise money for various local charities. None of the volunteers are paid, but we are hoping that this will be a great chance to make a lot of money for these Charities and have fun at the same time.
The intention is to provide a highly professional cast and crew with the Play being performed to very high standards.
