The Pattaya Players are a troupe of amateur thespians recently established in January of 2008. The organization was created to provide an artistically adventurous environment that attracts and excites diverse members of the Pattaya community by providing theatrical productions that entertain, inspire and inform.

Pattaya Players (home of Pattaya's Professional Amateurs) is proud to announce the details of their first-ever production, An Evening of One Acts scheduled for May 16-18, 2008 at the 10th Floor Function Hall in
Bangkok Pattaya Hospital. There will be evening performances beginning at 7:30 PM on May 16th and 17th. A matinee beginning at 2:00 PM will take place on May 18th. Tickets cost 300 Baht for adults
and 200 Baht for children under the age of 12. Tickets can be purchased by credit card online at www.pattayaplayers.org or can be bought in person at The North Star Library in Naklua or Jameson's
Irish Pub in North Pattaya. Tickets will also be available for purchase at the door the evening of the performance, but only subject to availability. This fantastic evening of theater (directed by
Christopher T. Parsons) will consist of the three one-act plays: Monkey's Paw by W. W. Jacobs, The Last Leaf by Thomas Hischak and Final Dress Rehearsal by Jack Frakes.

The Monkey's Paw follows a family living in London at the time of the Second World War. A friend brings into their home the 'Monkey's Paw', which they believe has powers to make them rich. We see their happy
family life begin to break down with tragic results.

The Last Leaf is a bittersweet story involving Johnsy, a young artist who is suffering from a severe case of pneumonia and has lost her will to live. However, a friend provides the ultimate gift to Johnsy, and
in doing so, saves her life. Based on the wise and poignant classic short story by O. Henry.

And lastly, Final Dress Rehearsal is a simple farce about an amateur troupe of actors putting on a production of "Cinderella." Predictably, they are nowhere near ready to perform. The actress playing Cinderella arrives late, while the prince never arrives period. This inspires the "Prompter" to offer to play the prince's part. The "Prompter" seems to want to play all of the parts in the play. The stepsisters fail to
enter at their cues; the stage crew is composed of buffoons, the sound effects are played incorrectly, and when the author arrives, she quite understandably feels that her play is being ruined.

The Monkey's Paw and Final Dress Rehearsal performances are being produced by special arrangement with Samuel French, Inc. and The Last Leaf is being produced in conjunction with Pioneer Drama Service. A
brief intermission half way through the production will allow audience members to gather and discuss the performances while enjoying their favorite beverage and snack.
