There can be little doubt as to the huge impact Cliff Richard and The Shadows had,
and the enormous contribution they made to the world of Rock and Pop during the
late 1950’s and throughout the 1960’s.

They were undoubtedly the British equivalent of what became popular in the United
States following the huge strides made by people like Buddy Holley and Elvis
Presley.

Abundance
‘Plentifulness of the good things of life’ or in this case DANCE.

This collaborative dance showcase shares the abundant joy of dance by featuring various Cape Town dance studios in a synergetic performance for all ages.

These dancers and teachers have come together to support the thrill of performance by sharing the richness of dance to encouraging audiences.

Join us at the Masque Theatre this May for a fantastic night of dance.

The Masque is putting on a CELEBRATION OF THE GOLDEN GIRLS this May! For the first time in Cape Town, four episodes have been adapted for the stage.

For those who might not know, The Golden Girls is a sitcom from the late 80s and early 90s about four mature women living together in Miami and experiencing the joys and angst of their golden years.
Strong-willed Dorothy, spacey Rose, lusty Southern belle Blanche and matriarch Sophia may occasionally clash but they're there for one another in the end.

Adaptation and direction by Wayne Ronné

Staging Nikolai Gogol's Diary of A Madman brings to light a classical work which resonates big time in any country. Perhaps even more so in our beloved South Africa where the 'normal' citizens are struggling with poverty, corruption and general elections.

'Diary' allows us a bit of comic respite for the protagonist is able to stay sane through his madness. Although Bizo Maxegwana is no stranger to the Masque Theatre this is his first professional production. He will bring a refreshing take to this classical work with his own acting style.

It has been suggested you keep your eyes on this young thespian with his velvet voice and magnificent presence.

Diary of a Madman is directed by David Muller.

Interlace Uplift is a music event aimed at uplifting young performers, providing mentorship for them and cultivating their skills in performing arts. This year we are focusing our theme on the impact of youth collectives on individuals and society as a whole. We are spreading a message of unity and showing our youth that together we can achieve feats far greater than what we can on our own.

Our event day is June 16th 2024 so naturally we'll be sharing stories rooted deep in South African heritage, stories of past struggles that have been overcome largely thanks to the sheer force of the youth in this country.

Our focus group of performers are musicians and spoken word artists, the large majority of whom are under the age of 35. We are collaborating with young performers from Alas Academy, and local bands, The Nickies, Desperate for Doorbells and Interlace.

Our hope is to provide a positive learning experience in the arts for all of our performers, we want to uplift the youth of our surrounding areas by providing a unique experience.

Once upon a time, there was a beautiful hill in a hamlet called Klapmuts. It looked like a maiden wearing a cap, especially when mist covered it.

Long ago, when people first came to this area, they saw the hill and thought it looked like a woman's cap. So, they called it Klapmuts Hill.

Our story begins with a man named Diemer. He was one of the first people to settle in Klapmuts. He dreamed of building a village in this land of opportunity. As time passed, Klapmuts grew into a lively community. But hidden beneath its progress were old stories of the hill and the mist that used to cover it.

Our play takes us on a journey through the history of Klapmuts. We meet different people who lived there, and we learn about their joys and challenges.

The Story of Klapmuts Hill" is a tale of a maiden's hat. It reminds us that even in the smallest places, there are stories worth telling and lessons worth learning.

Mr. Fox is the best in the business when it comes to poultry theft. After having his first cub, however, he leaves that life behind, and settles for a safer career. But, now that his life is calm and ordinary, he misses his days of glory, stealing from the farms of the greedy and wicked Boggis, Bunce, and Bean. Things have become dull, his marriage is failing, and he's struggling to be a good father to his cubs.

Will Mr. Fox go back to his old ways? And if he does, how will the wicked farmers react now that their old nemesis is back?

Presented by Habib Drama Studio, The 'Not Particularly' Fantastic Mr. Fox promises to be a wild and ridiculous adventure for all ages! Filled with laughs, thrills, drama, and... um... I dunno... probably chickens? I guess.
