Prague Playhouse

Sweeney Todd! Sneak Preview May 30!

The entire Prague Playhouse team is ecstatic to announce our upcoming production of Stephen Sondheim’s SWEENEY TODD, The Demon Barber of Fleet Street. The production, which opens June 28, 2012 and runs until July 29, 2012, is our most ambitions project yet. It will feature a live 10 piece orchestra and 20 actor/singers performing one of the most challenging and beautiful musicals ever written.

Over half the cast are Czechs from the professional musical theater. Steve Josephson, a veteran musical theater director, choreographer and performer has come from California to stage the show. This is a multi-cultural production in the true sense of the word.

And we want you to join us for a SNEAK PREVIEW at Belushi’s Bar (Odboru 4, Prague 1) on May 30th from 18:00-21:00. For just 100 Kc we will buy you a drink while you can listen to songs from the show performed by our company (including the orchestra). We will also have some wonderful prizes for you to bid on in a silent auction (see our list of sponsors below!).

If you’re excited to hear the music performed by our outstanding company, if you might be out of Prague during the summer and miss the performances, if you want to be among the first to experience a part of this show, then come out to see us! This Sneak Peak is one night only!

A Broad’s Way Presents: “Dokola” 17.5 – 26.5 at 20:00

A Broad’s Way Productions and Prague Film & Theater Center are proud to announce upcoming production of ‘Dokola’, a collaborative, adaptation of Arthur Schnitzler’s, “La Ronde”

Dokola is an intimate tale of connection (and disconnection) surrounding the intertwined sexual relationships of ten archetypal characters living in 2012 Prague. Dokola, A Broad’s Way Productions’ biggest show to date, is a highly unique and fresh production, which effortlessly marries theatre, film, dance and original music to explore these ten diverse relationships.

The adapted play follows ten dynamic characters on a cyclical journey through the gritty, sometimes awkward, and revealing conversations people have with their sexual partners behind closed doors. When director Jay DeYonker of New Jersey, was asked about the show’s content and the company’s choice to update the infamous play he said, “When ‘La Ronde’ was first conceived in 1897 it was banned for its raw content. With our adaptation, we have challenged ourselves to explore similarly controversial, yet highly relevant themes surrounding the sex lives of Prague’s diverse community.”

Dokola premieres at the Male Vinohradske Divadlo on May 17th.

WHEN?: 17th, 18th, 19th, 24th, 25th, 26th May 2012 @ 8pm
WHERE?: Male Vinohradske Divadlo, Zahrebska 468/21, Prague 2 – Vinohrady

Advance Tickets: 200kc
On the Door: 250kc
