P.A.C.T BRINGS THEATRE TO THE PACIFIC BEACH COMMUNITY
The group just finished a 2-night
sold out performance of the
Spanglish comedy “Grade de
Coca-Cola”. Preformed by
the
Boquete
Community Players
and accompanied by
a three-course dinner
by
Picasso
Restaurant.
The
evening made for an
entertaining
dinner
and show, right here
at the beaches.
Panama & Coclé Theatre
O
ne of the more exciting
things going on at the
beaches are the Live
Theatre shows taking place in local
restaurants.
The
newly
formed
Theatre
Company, Panama & Cocle theater
(P.a.C.T) has been getting rave
reviews. P.a.C.T has been honing
their own group of community
players and while working with
well-established theatre groups like
The Boquete Community Players
and the Ancon Theatre Guild. Since
the first performance last year of a
Dinner Murder Mystery, P.a.C.T has
managed to create a calendar full of
varied performances for residents
and visitors in the area.
If you missed “El
Grade de Coca-Cola”, don’t worry!
There is more to come. On
December 19th, P.a.C.T presents
“Small Talks” - an English situational
comedy.
This play will be
performed
by
the
P.a.C.T
community players. Which means
you will probably recognize some
faces. Players include: Wayne
Halladay, Anne Watson, Jim
Ostrom, Arlene Nash, Yolanda Van
Der Kolk, Claire Ross and Charla
Armstrong.
Like all the P.a.C.T shows Small
Talks won’t be your average theater
performance. It will be interactive, a
touch wacky, and of course a little
risqué. The night will get started
with an Art Show called Forbidden
Fruit presented by the GoYo
Gallery. The exhibit will feature art
by Yolanda Van Der Kolk.
“Small Talks”, written by Sue and
Clive Read, and directed by Rob
Brown, will bring five girlfriends
together for a lingerie party. As the
night continues the group decides
make over one of the more dowdy
girls.
The night is sure to be a fun filled
event, full of laughter. The evening
will kick off at 5:00 p.m. at Picasso
Bar & Restautante. Tickets will be
sold
out
quickly.

In February of next year, expect
more fun, improv and interaction in
an audience-participation game
show called “Making Whoopee
Game Show”. The play is a
reenactment of the 60’s favorites
“The Newlywed Game”.
Also next year P.a.C.T will take on a
more serious side as they work to
prepare the original play written and
directed by Terrance Robert Brown
called “THERAPIST – Not One
Word”. This chilling thriller about a
sociopath psychiatrist will go to
stage April. 10th 2014.
In June, P.a.C.T has teamed up
with the Ancon Theater Guild to
perform “Rocky Horror Show”,
which
previously
showed

interactive roller coaster and a will
take place on Friday, June 13 under
the full moon.
