Guest of
Honour.
Javea
Players
Way back in 1976, Janet Philips, well known
for her work with the English Library, became
so tired of being starved of live theatre that
she advertised a meeting to explore the idea of
starting an amateur drama group. Only twelve
people turned up but such was the enthusiasm of
the twelve that only four months later, in May
1976, the Javea Players took to the stage at the
Javea Secondary School with the double-bill,
Murder by Request and Meet The Family. So,
next year the longest established drama group
on the Costa Blanca will be celebrating their 40th
Anniversary and they would like you to be their
guest of honour.
Of course, there is a price to pay. To be, with
a partner, their guests of honour at all Javea
Players’ shows and events throughout their
anniversary year you have to design for them
their 40th Anniversary logo. Finished artwork
is not required to enter this competition, just a
colour design sketch, which should be emailed
to [email protected] to arrive not later than
October 16, is all that is required. Well-known
and highly regarded theatre journalists, Benny
Davis and Jack Troughton will be helping the
Chairman of Javea Players, Mike Harvey choose
the winning design.
As they reach their 40th the Players can look
back on thirty-nine years of hugely rewarding
achievement. They have succeeded in staging
numerous ambitious productions to very
considerable local acclaim. These have included
Oh What a Lovely War, Toad of Toad Hall,
Fiddler on the Roof, Lock-up Your Daughters,
