We’re all about theatre, but social events are also happening.
They are such good opportunities to meet new people who share the same interests with you. Like last week’s bar night, which was filled with booze, snacks and fun activities.
There are more social events like this in the planning process, so come out, have fun, and hang out with us!
Since we were showered with positive feedbacks about the Musical Theatre workshop last term,
The Players Club proudly presents another to start things off after Reading Week!
All ages and experiences are welcome, it will be held like the previous one. The first half of the workshop dedicated to learning a number and the second half for learning the choreography.
At the end, we’ll put it together to perform for… ourselves. (Watch out for the cameras!)
Starting at 6 P.M, at Neville Scarfe 1003.
Hope to see you all there!
Here is a list of the one act plays that will be performed.
As we’re settling into the new year of 2017, the Player’s Club is presenting events that will pull you through the assignments, midterms and papers this term.
Be sure to mark your calendars:
(Location for most events is TBA)

We are now only a few weeks away from the opening night of our mainstage production: the Pulitzer Prize-winning drama Disgraced by Ayad Akhtar directed by Gavan Cheema!
The show will be running from November 9th to the 14th, with evening shows at 7pm and a Sunday matinee at 2pm. There will be no show on November 11th.
We look forward to seeing you there!
This week, the UBC Players Club is hosting a play reading of Marie Clements’s spellbinding drama Copper Thunderbird from 3-6pm on Friday, in NEST 2521.
Copper Thunderbird acts out the life, times, and struggles of Anishinaabe artist Norval Morrisseau, a Grand Shaman hailed as the Father of Contemporary Native Art and “Picasso of the North.” These accolades, however, do not come without cost. Clements interweaves Morrisseau’s everyday struggles to become accepted and retain his identity in a Western-dominated art world with his tumultuous spiritual journey to the heart of his cultural traditions.
Greetings, players!
Come join us on October 27th for a presentation of Joan MacLeod’s The Shape of a Girl, directed by Elana Mabrito and starring Anni Ramsay, two key members of the UBC Players Club.
The show will be followed by a brief talkback where we discuss the issues that arise in the text. We are interested in using the power of theatre and performance as a way to facilitate change. We hope that you’ll join us for an evening of theatre and conversation!
Greetings, players!
Thanks to everyone who came out and auditioned for Disgraced! We now have the show fully cast and would like to thank all the guests who came to our successful workshop! We are excited to show the play to you all in November.
If you emailed us about working backstage, we haven’t forgotten you. We’re just figuring out right now where we most need the help, and you’ll hear from us soon.
