Get your voices warmed up and put your dancing shoes on for the upcoming Broadway Musical – Mame. Tryouts are scheduled scheduled for January 5th and 6th at the Second Story Playhouse at 7 pm. The cast will include some 20+ talented individuals. There are both singing and non-singing roles up for grabs.
You need not have anything prepared for the tryouts. We will be asking you to sing a bit from the title song and read a short passage from the dialogue. If you are unable to tryout at scheduled times, you may request a private tryout by calling Robert Lindberg at 665-0590.
There are ten males and ten females who have lines. The number of chorus members and dancers is unlimited. About half of the cast have solos and half have only dialogue. There are two roles for young boys. As you can see, there is a part for everyone.
The plot centers around a worldly aunt, who becomes a guardian for a young nephew and how this changes her life. Some of Mame’s wild adventurous spirit is inside everyone who lives for the moment and believes “life is a banquet”. Her life is turned upside down, but she still lives life to the fullest. The show takes place in the 1920’s will all the glamour and glitz of the time. Special songs include Mame, Open a New Window, If He Walked into my Life and We Need a Little Christmas.

Saturday, November 21st at 7:00 pm
The Peninsula Players presents Improv Saturday Night. An opportunity to come and watch and join in some fun improv games and activities. Singers are also welcome – we have in the past had ukulele players singing songs, an occasional person playing a coat hanger (this is improv remember).
What is improv? Well the best way to describe it is first to ask the question, have you ever watched “Whose Line is it Anyway?” (either the original BBC version or the Drew Carey hosted show that aired on network TV a few years back). The participants are given a scene with minimal instruction and have to act it out. We have a few standard games we like to play and we are always looking for new ideas and new victims, err volunteers to come up on stage and join us.
Bring your friends and family. A good time will be had by all.
That’s 7:00 pm on Saturday, November 21st at the Second Story Playhouse in Ilwaco, WA. On the corner of Spruce and 1st Street above Just Treasures.
Hope to see you there.
Karl Johnson (head nut case, nut head case, guy they put in charge)

One Act Festival!
Children’s Reader’s Theater
From a book by Caroline Feller Baurer
Directed by Rita Smith
“Children’s Theater” is a new adventure for Peninsula Players. I chose 3 simple “Reader’s Theater” plays for this evening and developed them into 3 short plays. The cast is a wonderful group of enthusiastic children. They have worked very hard learning lines, stage directions and all that goes into performing on stage. I want to also thank all my parents for their help with costumes, props, helping their children learn their lines, and just being there for their children and me!
Motorcycle Mama
Written and Directed by Jan Bono*
In “Motorcycle Mama,” Martha, a rather unassuming senior citizen, but still with plenty of spring in her step, wants to learn to ride a motorcycle. It’s on her “bucket list” and she is eager to get on a bike for the first time in her life. She goes to a local motorcycle repair shop and asks for someone to teach her to ride. She is met with much opposition from the mechanics at the shop until she offers to pay for the instruction.
Money talks, but first Martha must complete some menial maintenance tasks before Rawlin, the shop owner, will allow her to even sit on a bike. She agrees, and what transpires during her first “lesson” makes for a feel-good, heart-warming story.
Ilwaco’s Winoceros
Written and Directed by Joe Paliani*
The Time is the Present. The Setting is a fictitious restaurant in Ilwaco harbor overlooking the fishing boats. The cast consists of three diners and a waiter. The Waiter finds most Diners boring and terribly unknowledgeable about wines; he therefore often likes to poke fun and joke with the customers, at their expense. In this play, the Diners are at first unaware of how sophisticated The Waiter is about wines, and how much there is to learn about fine wine. The challenge for the three diners is to succeed in placing an order for wine and food, orders which The Waiter is apparently in no hurry to take – lest the diners choose the wrong wines! — or ask for the right wines, but at the wrong temperatures!
All I Really Need to Know
I Learned by Being in a Bad Play
Written by Werner Trieschmann
Directed by Ed Ahlers
The play is Romeo and Juliet. Everyone remembers this play. We all read it in Jr. High. Boy meets girl, boy and girl fall in love,… like I said, we all know the story. But what really happened? As the late Paul Harvey would say, what is ‘the rest of the story?’ No, not with Romeo and Juliet, with producing the play? What could possibly happen when a community theater group decides to do a play published 412 years ago?
Friday, August 28, 7:00 p.m.
Saturday, August 29, 7:00 p.m.
Sunday, August 30, 2:00 p.m.

Peninsula Players,
As most of you know, I’m “passing the torch” to others to build the stage sets, and I would like to teach others what little I know. Therefore, I am having a workshop this Saturday starting at 10 AM at the Second Story Playhouse in Ilwaco, We will spend time on set terms, set design, what makes a good set, and we will build some flats for the next play.
