God’s Waiting Room

Tickets on sale soon!

Don’t miss this rare chance to catch legends Faridah Merican, Anne James and Patrick Teoh in a brand-new play by Joe Hasham OAM.

– For Mano –  

Meet Miss Effie, Mrs Pansy and Mr Chong, three strangers living out their Golden Years in a retirement home.

This new play by Joe Hasham OAM is, at turns, outrageously hilarious and a real heart-tugger as the trio forms an unlikely bond while dealing with their less than cooperative bodies and the never-ending waiting…  waiting for visitors that do not show up, waiting for their next test results, waiting for the inevitable.

In between all that waiting, life goes on. They reminisce their firsts and long-gone loved ones, recall good ol’ times like having bak kut teh at the old Malayan Banking HQ in the wee hours and annoy the hell out of each other.

God’s Waiting Room is a no holds barred look at the later years of life – is it a chance to take stock or to have one last wild fling? Either way, join us for the ride. 

C’est la vie.

About The Actors Studio Foundation
As a pioneer in the performing arts industry in Malaysia with more than three decades worth of experience, The Actors Studio has created a large body of creative work, produced countless talents, and brought much positive change as well as advancement to the industry since its inception.

To ensure the continuity of its good work as well as to secure the legacy of The Actors Studio, The Actors Studio Foundation was established on 16 December 2021 to carry on its Co-Founder’s vision in the long-term.

The Foundation’s objectives are very much in keeping with the initial mission of The Actors Studio. This includes providing safe creative spaces for artistic activities, be it live performances, arts programmes or arts training, to thrive and flourish. The Foundation also seeks to ensure the sustainability of the industry by nurturing new talent through training and education. This also includes financially supporting students who could otherwise not afford it in their performing arts education through the provision of scholarship and bursaries. It will continue to present and produce quality Malaysian works with a strong local voice in various genres for the public and work towards bringing the magic of the arts to the underprivileged.

About TAS Seni Teater Rakyat
Since its inception in 1989, The Actors Studio has been presenting groundbreaking theatre in Malaysia. In 2006, it created The Actors Studio Seni Teater Rakyat arm to bridge the gap between the arts and the people in line with the National Arts and Culture Department’s efforts to ‘merakyatkan seni’. The Actors Studio Seni Teater Rakyat’s inaugural project was Alfian Sa’at’s “Anak Bulan di Kampong Wa’ Hassan” which toured to five villages in Peninsular Malaysia. Since then, it has re-staged many classics such as “Philadelphia, Here I Come!”, “Uda dan Dara” and “Rashomon”. It has also revived interest in traditional art forms through productions like “A Night of Cantonese Opera” and “Mak Yong Titis Sakti”. The Actors Studio Seni Teater Rakyat has also been a key driver behind the development of new content. It has premiered works such as “The Taste of Water”, “Kandang” (based on George Orwell’s Animal Farm), a BM version of Harold Pinter’s “Betrayal” and “Dato’ Seri” (based on Macbeth). In addition to on-going series like “Don’t Let…” and “Dancebox” to promote new content, it also initiated The New Play Project for emerging playwrights. In 2016, it mounted a year-long Shakespeare 400 season. Two productions “Shakespeare Goes Bollywood” and “Richard III” was named the “Best of 2016” by the BOH Cameronian Arts Awards. Richard III won 6 other awards. The Actors Studio Seni Teater Rakyat continues to bring quality and accessible theatre with a strongly Malaysian voice. The Actors Studio just celebrated its 30th anniversary in 2019.
