A Wonderful Start to Theatre on the North Coast, Dominican Republic

Entertainment on North Coast Dominican Republic

"Wait Until Dark" is well received

 
North Coast Players recently opened their first Season with “Wait Until Dark”, a tense thriller. Playing to around 650 people over three days, the sponsors of this first Play and the audiences felt the production was professional, crisp and an excellent attempt, as echoed by this positive review:
 
 
 
 
"This was a wonderful attempt by a group of amateur-dramatics
enthusiasts that clearly showed how much effort they had put into
creating a professional performance. The décor and lighting were
excellent, though unfortunately the radio microphones sometimes
produced a lot of distortion and you had to listen carefully to
understand the dialogue. But this was just a small technical hitch. The
cast and crew deserve our praise for all their efforts, and we look
forward to watching their future productions."

As well as providing pleasure to hundreds of local residents and tourists, the production raised substantial sums for three local charities, Island Impact Ministries, Sosua Kids and AAAS (Association of Friends of the Animals of Sosúa).  Each will be featured on the West Indies Real Estate blog over the coming weeks.

New Opportunities on North Coast

For so many that complain of having little to do on the north coast, there are now so many more options available, like the formation of the North Coast Theatre Company for the community.
 
Once the first Play has been performed in November in Sosúa, the Theatre Company will be on the look out for more people who are interested in considering acting, directing or even producing a play. 
 
The profits from the Plays that are performed will go to local charities.
Equally important and perhaps not so widely known is the intention to create a learning tool for those adults and children who are interested in the theater and wish to try and learn more about the roles of acting and backstage work. To that end, N.C.P. intends holding several acting workshops and talks on the acting and theater profession during the coming year.
 
In fairness it has been, as usual, hard to find people who were keen right from the start to give up their leisure time to play a role in the formation of the theater company, but with so many people feeling like there is little to do in the evenings, we are hoping that we will see many of them joining us over the months.
 
‘ ‘I would like to think that the first play will encourage all those with an interest to step forward and come and try out in the auditions for future productions and by that I don’t just mean acting. I would love to see potential producers, directors, stage hands, set designers and lighting people. This is about giving opportunities for all who are interested and getting as much fun out of it as possible - as it should be for a community theater such as this.’ ’
