Phnom Penh Players

Phnom Penh Players’ mission is to entertain, educate, and enrich the community by producing high-quality theatrical performances and promoting cultural awareness in Phnom Penh, Cambodia.

Phnom Penh Players is an informal group of people who enjoy getting together and seeing what kind of theatre can be produced. It was founded in 1992 by Vicky Rodgers in Phnom Penh with the ultimate mission of entertaining while simultaneously giving back to the local community. The players give life to many shows each year, ranging from classical plays to original productions.

Since its inception, the Phnom Penh Players has presented dozens of plays in Phnom Penh, including drama (Macbeth, Missionaries, Mercenaries and Monsters), musicals (Rocky Horror Show, Shanghai Cabaret), pantomimes (Unsleeping beauty, Jack and the baked beanstalk, not to mention the first ever adult only panto in Phnom Penh – Fingerella) and everything in between.
