There are three known groups performing live theatre in areas of Costa Rica where there are sizeable expatriate communities.The Little Theatre Group, in the capital city of San Jose, has been in existence since 1949 and is the oldest continuously running English speaking theatre in Central or South America. Currently, the group puts on a minimum of four productions a year, offering the English-speaking community, audience and actors alike, a choice of modern, classic, serious or farcical plays. The group regularly donates to charity, sponsors school drama festivals, trains new directors and takes productions on the road to the more remote areas of the country. Their production of Play it Again Sam closed on June 5, 2005 to rave reviews. For more information, email: mewhite@racsa.co.cr. The Jungle Players, in the Quepos/Manuel Antonio area on the Pacific coast were organized in 2003. They also have a history of donating to charity and are members of the Amigos de los Libros which is helping establish and maintain the local public library. The Jungle Players hold workshops at their meetings and have sponsored several "Open Stage" events. They recently closed their production of A Slice of Life, which was very well received by the community. They can be reached by email at: thejungleplayers@yahoo.com.
