News and updates from CPT
Broadway World featured an article about our upcoming Conejo Improv Players show.
“The performance is on Saturday, August 3 at 8pm. The Conejo Improv Players will present a hilarious night of improvisational comedy featuring skits, scenes, and music — made up entirely on the spot from audience suggestions. Enjoy an evening of interactive comedy that blends the comedic stylings of Whose Line Is It Anyway? and Saturday Night Live in a hilarious show you won’t want to miss!”
The VC Star talked to RENT director Shawn Adams-Lanz and actor Brennen Klitzner for an article about the show for both their print and online publications.
“Conejo Players Theatre’s production of Rent features an element not typically seen in the rock musical about AIDS. A 12-foot-by-12-foot panel from the nearly 40-year-old AIDS Memorial Quilt will be on stage as the cast sings “Seasons of Love.” Rent will be performed Friday through July 7 at the theatre at 351 S. Moorpark Road, Thousand Oaks.”
Thank you to The Acorn Thousand Oaks for covering RENT and our partnership with the National AIDS Memorial.
“In some 20,160 minutes from publication date—far fewer than the 525,600 mentioned in its iconic song—the classic musical “Rent” will take the stage at Conejo Players Theatre in Thousand Oaks. Set in the East Village of New York City in the early 1990s and based loosely on the classic Puccini opera “La Bohème,” “Rent” follows a year in the life of a group of impoverished young artists and musicians struggling to create and survive in NYC’s Lower East Side under the shadow of HIV/AIDS.”
We are thrilled that the Conejo Players Theatre and the cast of Sleeping Beauty were featured guests on the Stage Playaz Podcast.
Official Description: Join your favorite co-hosts, CC Adeva and Nate Eshaghpour as they feature a performing arts gem in the community. The Conejo Players Theatre is going on its 66th anniversary and it remains one of THE most popular venues people go for entertainment. Meet the Executive Producer Beth Eslick and learn what makes the experience at Conejo Players Theatre unique. Enjoy the perspective of three Sleeping Beauty cast members, Carmen Hortiales (Briar Rose), Evan Trafican (Prince Owain), and Alia Ashworth (Spider King) from their current production, Sleeping Beauty (Charles Way adaptation), as they give you a glimpse into their characters and express their gratitude and love for being a part of the Conejo Players Theatre family.
The Thousand Oaks Acorn sat down with the team from the upcoming free staged reading of The Nameless Star to get the scoop on this one-night-only event.
According to Elena Mills who translated and adapted the story for the stage, “This play always has been one of my favorites,” Mills said. “The story is about real people and real-life situations, without a fairy tale ending, which is nice, but usually untrue. ‘The Nameless Star’ is a romantic comedy with every character being created beautifully. We easily can guess about each one’s life story.”
