21-23 October:
Hey Hey Divorcé with Schalk Bezuidenhout at George Arts Theatre (19:00). Have you ever gone through a divorce?
Well, Schalk has! And lucky for you, he has to talk about it. Actually... he needs to talk about it!
Why? Because it's cheaper than therapy. Raw, real stand-up at its finest. And maybe even a single tear running down the left cheek. Tickets are R250 on Webtickets. No under-16s.
21-23 October: Hey Hey Divorcé with Schalk Bezuidenhout at George Arts Theatre (19:00).
24-25 Oktober:
Eerste vir alles met Frank Opperman en Margit Meyer-Rödenbeck by die George-kunsteteater. Vertoningtye: 24 Oktober, 19:00, en 25 Oktober, 15:00. Kaartjies kos R250 by Webtickets.
Twee van ons land se gedugste storievertellers span kragte saam om die oorspronklike power couple te vertolk in 'n klassieke geval van 'he said, she said'. Eva (Meyer-Rödenbeck), 'n gefrustreerde kunstenaar, kry uiteindelik 'n beurt om haar kant van die storie te vertel, die lief en leed van die eerste moeder en huisvrou.
Adam (Opperman) glo ook nie hy't dit maklik gehad nie. Die handboek vir menswees is eers ná sy tyd geskryf. Eerste vir alles is 'n romantiese komedie oor ou bene saam maak, veral as een die ander 'n ribbebeen skuld.
24-25 Oktober: Eerste vir alles met Frank Opperman en Margit Meyer-Rödenbeck by die George-kunsteteater.
30 October:
The 70s vs 80s Tribute at the Market Community Theatre (19:00). Take a musical trip back in time with James Marais and Monique Cassells.
Doors open at 18:00. Tickets are R150, or R130 for pensioners and learners, on Quicket or with Heather on 072 369 3304.
28 October-7 November:
Chicago: The Musical at the George Arts Theatre. Parental guidance advised for children under 16. Showtimes: 19:00. Tickets: R170-R200, available from Webtickets.
Presented by the George Society of Arts with music by John Kander and lyrics by Fred Ebb, this golden oldie is sure to attract full audiences. In the smoky streets of 1920s Chicago, wannabe chorus girl Roxie Hart lands herself in jail after killing her lover.
With the city's slickest lawyer, Billy Flynn, spinning sensational stories for the press, Roxie transforms from accused murderer into overnight star. But in her chase for the spotlight, she has a rival: Vaudeville sensation Velma Kelly.
