- players Jakarta
players Jakarta are group of people, young and old, moms and dads working for students, teachers to ladies who lunch, both expatriate and Indonesian with one thing in common; passion for the theater. Come rain or shine, they gather for evening rehearsals during the week, and rehearsals during the weekend to put on three productions a year and always with the heart and soul of a professional West End performance or Broadway.
Last year, we saw the likes of Snoopy and the gang in the musical You're a good man, Charlie Brown, a murder mystery in The Real Inspector Hound, and a mad Russian government in The Government Inspector. The first show this year will be (drum roll please ...) Happily Ever After (applause, thank you ...) which tells the comic story of Cindarella, Jack and the Beanstalk, Little Red Riding Hood, Rapunzel and the wife of Baker after so called happy endings. As it stands, there is no such thing!
Cinderella hates her husband womanizer, the wife of the giant came down the beanstalk Jack and avenge everyone is basically miserable. This musical fairy tale is suitable for all ages and watch everyone come together to save another at the end.

Directed by Keith Allerton, a professor at Jakarta International School, Keith has directed over 50 shows and was 75 himself. Keith is a self-confessed "drama queen" who found Jakarta players to be his saving grace when he moved to Jakarta in 2003.
"I see the work as work. This is the game, "Keith said." The key is to be able to balance your family life and work and Jakarta players. "
The production of this game is Keith partner in crime, the Rich Harmony is a working mom. "I would not do it if it was not Keith lead. it is effective, it has rules and sticks to them."
