SUMMARY:Alice in the Cape Flats – Musical Queer Fantasy\, August 2025
DESCRIPTION:Alice in the Cape Flats – A Queer Fairy Tale Reimagined\n🌈 By Haus Events & Production in association with The Drag CartelWritten & Directed by Berlin Williams \n\n✨ Step into a Vibrant World of Self‑Discovery and Queer Joy\nAlice in the Cape Flats is an enchanting and subversive theatrical odyssey. Under the bold direction of Berlin Williams\, this queer reinterpretation of Alice’s journey through Wonderland is firmly rooted in Cape Flats culture. It’s a story about discovering and embracing who you’ve always been\, against the backdrop of societal expectations. \nAlice navigates a whimsical path through time\, encountering unforgettable characters: the mischievous Double D\, the enigmatic Hatter\, and the wise Reading Queen. Each encounter reveals a fragment of the truth she’s seeking – mirroring her inner selves in a world where queerness and identity flourish unapologetically. \n\n🎭 Themes\, Tone & Cultural Landscape\nThis production courageously explores life under the weight of external pressures: the impossible pursuit of perfection\, and the struggle for authenticity – especially for queer femme-presenting individuals in the Cape Flats. Rather than simply retelling a classic\, Alice in the Cape Flats reimagines it as a bold celebration of Cape Town’s Kullit queerness\, marrying laughter with lyricism\, music\, and satire. \nExpect an immersive theatrical experience filled with: \n\nUnapologetic Gayle – punchy humor and unapologetic vernacular\nMusical performances that transport audiences into a magical\, rhythm-fueled world\nThought-provoking storytelling layered with cultural significance\n\n\n🔍 About the Director: Berlin Williams\nWhile formal profiles are limited\, Berlin Williams’ creative imprint is unmistakable. Collaborating through Haus: Events & Production and The Drag Cartel\, Williams is celebrated for bold\, genre-defying queer theatre in Cape Town. Their work resonates with theatrical vibrancy\, local identity\, and provocative storytelling that challenges norms and amplifies marginalized voices. \nBerlin’s creative vision ignites this production\, transforming familiar archetypes into powerful reflections of identity\, belonging\, and resistance in the Cape Flats. \n\n🎉 Why You Should See It\n\nExperience a reinvention of the Alice mythos\, shaped by Cape Flats queerness and cultural pride.\nCelebrate local creativity that pushes boundaries through movement\, satire\, and music.\nEngage with a beautifully constructed narrative that speaks to identity\, acceptance\, and heritage.\nJoin an inclusive performance space where laughter and reflection coexist.\n\n\n📅 Event Details\n\n\n\n\n\nDetail\nInformation\n\n\n\n\nDates\n15–30 August 2025\n\n\nTimes\nEvenings at 19:30\n\n\nVenue\nBaxter Studio\, Baxter Theatre Centre\, Cape Town\n\n\nTickets\nR150 – R250 via Webtickets and Baxter box office

SUMMARY:Forever Motown\, The Musical
DESCRIPTION:Get ready to groove to the timeless beats of Motown next month as Forever Motown\, The Musical makes its grand debut at The Academia Theatre in Lansdowne on July 5th and 6th. \nWritten and directed by the multi-talented singer\, performer and producer\, Shadley Schroeder\, this electrifying production promises an unforgettable night of soul-stirring performances and nostalgic melodies. With showtime set at 8:00 pm and doors opening at 7:30 pm\, audiences are invited to immerse themselves in the golden era of music.\n \n“It was an idea in my head for a long time. I’m strictly an old-school guy; I believe older songs have a lot of meaning and was looking for a group to work with me\, it took a while to find the perfect cast\,” says Schroeder. \nHe found his “perfect cast” in Yusuf Sydow\, Shavaan Harker\, Ganief Samuels\, and Wajedie Smith who will be showcasing the iconic hits of legendary artists such as Kool & The Gang\, Stylistics\, Earth\, Wind & Fire\, Temptations\, The Drifters\, and many more. \n“I met with various artists to do the show\, but it never felt like I did when I met with Static Space. They were eager\, willing\, and on board when I shared my ideas. I knew I could work with them\,” he said. \nMotown music is personal to Schroeder and his love for the genre has seen him focusing on research and fine-tuning. \n“I’m researching how the stages looked back in the day\, the set\, the design\, and the feel. A lot of research went into the music and choreography as well.  It’s about style\, dress code\, the vibe\, and the feel I want to achieve. When they walk into the auditorium\, I need the audience to feel transported back in time.” \n“This being said\, it should be noted that it is a young cast and will bring their twist to the show.” \nSchroeder’s journey in musical theatre began in 2014 after his “Blood Brothers” performance with David Kramer. Inspired by this experience\, he created his own show\, “Just a Simple Cape Flats Boy\,” marking the start of his career in producing musical theatre. \nSince then\, he has produced numerous successful shows\, including online performances during the COVID-19 pandemic. His notable productions include “Reborn\,” “Love is in the Air\,” “Don’t Stop the Music\,” and “Oh What a Night\,” which enjoyed a week-long run at the Baxter Theatre. \nSchroeder’s passion for Motown music was instilled in him by his mother\, who introduced him to classic artists like Peaches & Herb\, The Manhattans\, Barry Manilow\, and the Temptations. \nHe connects deeply with the lyrics\, infusing his performances with dramatic flair. His vision for Forever Motown\, The Musical involves blending the iconic sounds of Motown with contemporary elements\, featuring both male and female performers to cover a wide range of classics from the era. \nSchroeder emphasizes that there is nothing better than Motown music\, aiming to evoke love and nostalgia through his show. \nTickets for this not-to-be-missed event are priced at R180\, offering incredible value for a night filled with music\, memories\, and pure entertainment. Don’t miss your chance to experience the rhythm and energy of Motown live on stage. \nSecure your seats now for Forever Motown\, The Musical at The Academia Theatre in Lansdowne.
