Get to Know Us...
Founded in 1996, Possum Point Players' Ad Hoc Touring Company is the brainchild of the late David Palmer.
Possum Point Players' Ad Hoc Touring Company's mission is double-pronged:
- To read plays aloud at monthly evening meetings and
- To present for the public staged readings of dramatic material.
At the meetings, the public is invited and all attendants take part in reading, giving everyone a chance to “strut their stuff.” Under chairman George Spillane’s leadership, the group has tackled everything from Chekov to old time radio (OTR) such as The Shadow, Casablanca, Wuthering Heights, and of course, the many comedies of Old Time Radio including Fibber McGee and Molly. The group often adds dramatic and comical readings.
Possum Point Players' Ad Hoc Touring Company is always busy, rehearsing and presenting shows that make it a really a touring repertory company. Ad Hoc creates the atmosphere of a network-broadcasting studio, complete with microphones, sound effects, and transcribed music. One of the troupe, Nita Gary, has become an expert in creating sound effects. Seeing her in action is always a treat for audiences.
Possum Point Players' Ad Hoc Touring Company has been well received and is often booked for months in advance, traveling to senior centers, libraries, museums, and many other venues across Delmarva.
Some Ad-Hoc members recently had fun with Fibber McGee and Molly
Ad Hoc Touring Co.
Possum Point Players' Ad Hoc Touring Company's primary function is to read scripts from Broadway, classical plays, and radio plays aloud for practice in sight-reading and to enjoy the material.
PPP's Ad Hoc meets on the first Monday of each month at 7p in Possum Hall.
PPP's Ad Hoc's second purpose is to present readings before the public--sometimes for a fee, other times as a donation to the sponsoring institution. For more information, call George Spillane at (302) 945-4603.
