Ember Island Players

The Ember Island Players are a local acting troop who performs at Ember Island's only theater. They are certainly not the best actors and actresses around, but they take themselves very seriously and almost always pack the house, though this is because the theater is one of the only night time entertainment on the islands. The Ember Island players are all professionals, yet they barely make enough money to get by. Almost all of them dream about getting out of this tiny little theater and going to a much grander stage. Their plays feature very overly-dramatic acting, and dazzling special effects. They recently aired the play The Boy in the Iceberg. They also frequently perform (or "butcher", according to Zuko) the play, "Love Amongst the Dragons". When Zuko was young, his mother used to take him to see their plays though mainly their performance of "Love Amongst the Dragons". They appeared in the episode of the same name.
