Sunnyvale Community Players

Saw «Rent» last night opening night at it was fantastic. Check it out. Motivates me to re-​subscribe.

The Sunnyvale Community Players have a hit goin’ on. The Mystery of Edwin Drood plays through April 26^th. It’s a madcap musical version of Dicken’s last unfinished novel.
Let’s call it Dicken’s Rocky Horror Picture Show. It’s got every thing to qualify, like steam punk costumes and characters, Madonna underwear, actors with great voices, a plethora of songs (24) and creative set changes to showcase them.
Family fun. The ending of the play is one that you pick with cast.
The orchestra is playing in, let us say, another dimension.

I went to see «The 25^th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee» last Sunday. The show was fantastic! The cast was wonderful and I haven’t heard singing like that on stage in a long time. The play itself is very funny and touching but the energy of the actors really brings it to life. Fantastic value and a great time out.

!WOW! Went to see The 25^th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee last night, and what an evening of entertainment. The cast, voices, comedy, serious moments that give you thought, lighting and music were fantastic.
Director Howard Miller along with Dana Morgan assembled the perfect cast.
The audience participation was lots of fun.
The Sunnyvale mayor and Jesus came to participate.
Don’t miss this great show. Come and support your local community theatre and the great talent from right here in the Bay Area.
Playing through November 18, 2012.
I definitely will be going back to see it again.
K.M. :)

I love this Theater so much, I joined the board.

Thoroughly enjoyed this musical with a youthful, energetic cast. You can’t go wrong seeing these productions. They are acted by talented folks for a reasonable price in my own neighborhood.

Saw opening night of SCP’s production of Grand Hotel and it was very entertaining! It was the first time I have seen this musical so I was not sure what to expect. The pace is quick — there’s no intermission, so you need to keep on your toes to follow the story. And speaking of keeping on your toes, there is a ballerina and a lot of wonderful dancing in general. The cast is terrific! I hope people come out and support Sunnyvale Community Players and see this show. It was GRAND!
As far as taking kids, I took my son who is a theatre going warrior (11 years old) so he was fine with it and loved the singing and dancing. There are some adult innuendos and one song which may alarm overly sensitive ears. Parents can decide based on their own kid.

The current play «Honk» produced by the 8 to 18 group of the Sunnyvale Community Players is a great family show. My husband and I saw it last Friday night and absolutely loved it. The dialogue and the lyrics to the songs are poignant and funny. There is a pun a minute and the kids are brilliant. They obviously are enjoying doing what they’re doing which adds so much to the overall production. You’ll hear some great voices and watch some inspired dancing. So get off the couch and go see «Honk” – you’ll be glad you did.

I love this theater. I have performed here as an actor, my kids have done several shows here, I have come to watch shows here and I have worked on the crew here and I can’t say enough great things about this theater company. The shows are funny, the cast comes out to visit with the audience after the show, and everybody that does the shows does so because they love theater. The tickets are more expensive than going to the movies, but when was the last time the characters on the screen came out to talk to you after the show. I really love the kids shows too. My kids love doing them and the comradarie they have with each other and the love they have for the shows it fantastic and for those who may not fit so well in with the athlete kids, is the perfect social group to keep them out of trouble. Sometimes the shows are late for the little ones, but there is always the sunday matinees. Hope to see you there.

My daughter has just recently begun participating in theatre, and she has had a wonderful time here.
The environment here for kids Is very positive and uplifting.
My observation: the kids feel challenged, accepted, respected, and honored.
They don’t bother with watered-​down «Jr.» versions of musicals or plays, (you know, where all the fun stuff is edited out?). They trust the kids to handle the original material.
Although I am sure the artistic staff knows they could «drill» these kids into so-​called perfection, it seems that instead, they get that doing so is a misguided effort.
Instead, what I see is a bunch of kids singing and acting a story with hearts full of joy.

This community theatre is one of the best I have ever been involved with. The level of professionalism this group is very high, and the quality of work they put out is extraordinary. I have had the pleasure of participating in the cast of several different shows — every show brings something different, whether it is new talent, experience, music — and it has been an amazing privilege to share my talents with this group. I implore you, come and see what SCP has to offer; you will not be disappointed!

This is a little theater group that packs a big punch! They do great shows which are reasonably priced. The theater has great parking and is convenient to many excellent restaurants. This is a fun thing to do which supports your local community

I love this Theatre, The shows are great and the staff is amazing they put a lot of heart and soul into the shows.
Every time I walk into this Theatre I feel like home.
I love the SCP Family.

I used to do theatre with this group. It was literally some of the best years of my life.
I had such a great experience, made some amazing friends and I developed life long skills from the tools that I developed as an actor.
I cannot wait for my two young children to be old enough to audition for the junior theatre. I would fully recommend the activity to all families.
PLUS I hope that once my kids get a bit older I can audition again as well. Can’t wait!
