The Mission and objectives of our Society is the encouragement, the promotion and performance of all forms of drama including musicals in the English Language, conduct workshops for all aspects of stage production, to develop a community of performers in Penang and Malaysia.
Penang Players Music and Drama Society was founded in early 1950s by a group of expatriates residing in Penang. In the late 1960s, as the expatriates gradually left for home, the membership became largely Malaysian.
We took part in the 2000 Shakespeare worldwide Festival, we have done dramas and comedies from numerous countries and playwrights. One formula that we have adopted over the years is the DINNER SHOW which appeals to Penang Theatre audiences.
Our first Drama with Music, Song and Dance, Memes, was staged in 2019 and was a unique opportunity to partner with Penang Jazz Society and Pentas Dance Studio.
We have facilitated workshops in Acting, Mime, Directing, producing, makeup and organised literature, jazz and poetry evenings.
