Sounds like fun!

The highly-prized wizards of Jávea Player’s sound department are looking to boost their number to help create the atmosphere of future productions.

Always on the lookout for new faces to act on stage and help behind the scenes, the theatre group needs a new sound technician to help experienced Peter Sparks and colleague Jane Dye.

“If you have any background in sound recording or sound reproduction, that would be an advantage, but just being interested in the preparation of sound effects and subsequently playing them during shows using out laptop, would be enough,” reads the job advert.

Jávea Players believe the expertise is available to guide anyone through a ‘short learning curve’ to any interested applicant and there is an existing library of sound effects to use.

Anyone interested in joining the team or becoming a sound technician can call membership secretary Cherry Cabban on 636 798 109 or email membership.jp@ gmail.com or visit the website:

Future shows

The summer show, a tribute to Andrew Lloyd Webber called ‘Master of the Musical’ and its accompanying al fresco meal, is delayed and now scheduled for July 27 to August 1 in Jávea old town.

In September, the group plays to present ‘Celebrate the Crooners: Bing to Bublé’; a one-man show by Roger Brown.

Rehearsals for ‘Dead Guilty’, directed by Caroline Drewett-Mansell were well underway when the coronavirus emergency began. The show will go on, but not until next year.

And ‘Love Letters’, directed by Cherry Cabban,

is scheduled to run from November 16 to November 21; and ‘Wife after Death’ is postponed until 2021.

This means that the ‘Oliver!’ - the hit musical version of the Charles Dickens classic ‘Oliver Twist’ - has been pushed back until 2022.

Details for booking the summer show will be available soon on the website www.javeaplayers.com; and news of the group’s activities will also be posted on the site.
