The Queens Players is a non-union acting company formed by English
actor/writer, Richard Mazda. The inspiration is NYC's wonderful pool of
actors and a desire to present new work, which is normally difficult to
achieve without financial backing. The formation of the company in January
2005 is also in part a reaction to the huge army of unsuccessful actors who
form training companies or set themselves up as self proclaimed and
expensive acting coach. The city is full to bursting with people who wish to
make money from the insecurities of broke actors. The Queens Players endeavors to give actors and those interested in other aspects of theater a space in which to flex their muscles doing engaging work, and we hope to continue building a loyal audience from production to production.
Richard Mazda (actor/writer/artistic director) formed the company in January 2005. The company has already grown to an incredible size with more than 25 actors, 8 writers and 4 directors attached. Actors need to act and new material has a hard time getting produced whether you are talking about New York or London - these are two facts that led to the formation of The Queen's Players. Following his move in September 2004 Richard has appeared as the lead actor in rap star Noriega's new video, filmed his role as The Mad Scientist Nikola Tesla in The Visionary and performed in a new musical 'Hell's Kitchen' as Butch Wollinski.
Hey The Queens Players, I'll take that as a yes, thanks for your positive feedback regarding our new hit track and video, "Fast Train to Memphis," from the upcoming CD "Fast Train to Memphis" by The Bramblemen. Cheers, Rich Bloom The Bramblemen
