Liewe Heksie het besluit dis tyd dat sy op haar besem klim en die land verken en dan sommer hier en daar ‘n bietjie stop, dat haar besem kan rus en dan sommer ‘n vertoning aanbied: Liewe Heksie en die Rolskaatse. Haai oe, maar sy het bietjie vergeet van verjaarsdae en daarom vier sy haar “eerste” verjaarsdag vanjaar sommer ‘n paar keer. Met haar persente, ‘n biki-kini en rolskaatse beloof sy om Blommeland nog kleurryker te maak. Maar ai, die groot grillerige Geelheks probeer haar vieringe in die (rolskaats)wiele ry. Levinia vra mooi:”Asseblief klein en groot kaboutervriende van Menseland, help my dat ons al die stoute karnallies kan verwilder.”

Verna Vels se immergroen verhale word verlewendig met baie gehoordeelname en voortsnellende aksie. Margit Meyer-Rödenbeck is die “ultimate”, nimlike Heksie en uiters talentvolle Deon van Zyl draf die rolle van Karel Kat, Geelheks en Koning Rosekrans lag-lag kaf. ‘n Aanbieding vir die hele gesin. Liewe Heksie en die Rolskaatse is ook by vanjaar se KKNK beloon met ‘n Kanna toekenning vir beste kinderteaterproduksie. “Senuwees en Skater. Impromptu teater op sy beste. Kinderteater het duidelik ‘n doel: nie net om iets aan kleingoed te bied nie, maar ook om verstokte siele weer in sprokies en spel te laat glo.” Marianna Malan- Die Burger

James Marais and Monique Cassells’ “From Memphis To Las Vegas:  Elvis Tribute” is a tribute to the King of Rock ‘n Roll, Elvis Presley.  The show covers many of Elvis’ greatest hits from all three decades of his career, namely the 1950s, when Elvis became an international rock ‘n roll star, the movie years of the 1960s, and the glitzy 1970s, when Elvis reigned supreme in Las Vegas.  The show is a mini-theatrical experience, featuring the dynamic vocal and visual performances of James and Monique, alternating as a duo and individual performers, who also do multiple costume changes throughout.

James is the no. 1 Elvis Presley tribute artist in the country, and has appeared on television several times, including appearances on SABC 2’s game shows, “Noot Vir Noot” and “Musiek Roulette”.  James won the Elvis tribute artist competition at the Elvis Festival Africa, Storms River Village, Tsitsikamma, Eastern Cape in 2010.  Thereafter, he travelled to Wales to represent South Africa in the Elvis World Cup competition, where he finished 4^th out of 10 other finalists from all around the world.

Monique has gained widespread praise for her powerhouse voice and performances, as well as her versatility.  She was the only female performer singing Elvis music at the Elvis Festival Africa, Storms River Village in 2010 and 2011.  She made her television debut on SABC 2’s “Musiek Roulette” in May 2018. 

“From Memphis to Las Vegas” features James paying an authentic tribute to Elvis, with his powerful vocals and dynamic stage moves, while wearing replicas of costumes Elvis wore that will remind audiences of Elvis in his prime.  Monique complements James with her strong, unique performances of Elvis’ music, adding a fresh flavour to an Elvis tribute.  James and Monique will also perform some exciting duets in their unique style.  You can expect to hear all the songs you know and love, including “Heartbreak Hotel”,

“Don’t Be Cruel”, “Hound Dog”, “Love Me Tender”, “Jailhouse Rock”, “It’s Now Or Never”,

“The Wonder Of You”, “Suspicious Minds” and many more!

Following a successful run at The Baxter Theatre we are proud to host The Year Of The Bicycle.  After almost ten years, Joanna Evans’ hit play ‘The Year of the Bicycle’ returns to South African stages, with a fresh take under new direction and with new performers.  

In this restaging of Joanna Evan’ play we see Amelia and Andile, children from very different backgrounds, befriend one another over a garden wall. Ten years later, they have become estranged, and, in separate accidents, fall into a concussion at the same moment. They meet again in each other’s confused minds. Their bodies are broken but their thoughts are very loud as they reach out for contact. While piecing together fragments of self, their memories draw them back to 1997; the year of Ninja Turtles, bicycles, and tazos. And the year when their friendship was shattered by a place in which it is impossible for even a child to feel at ease.

Directed by Dara Beth, ‘The Year of the Bicycle’ stars Kamogelo Mhlantla and Samantha Carlisle in a story just as relevant in 2022 as when it debuted in 2013 (and certainly for years to come). Photo Credits: Elysee Balogun
