Our Story
Phnom Penh Players is an informal group of people who enjoy getting together and seeing what kind of theatre we can produce. It’s great fun and allows us an opportunity to raise money for causes within Cambodia. We put on several performances each year, including our annual Christmas Panto each December. We are always looking for actors, set builders, musicians, fundraisers, costumiers and backstage crew. If you are interested in becoming involved as a member or sponsor of the Phnom Penh Players please contact us.
