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:Feedback by Andrew Buckland at Baxter – Aug 2025
DESCRIPTION:Feedback — A Physical Theatre Murder Mystery by Andrew Buckland\n🧀 8–30 August 2025 • Baxter Studio\, Baxter Theatre Centre \nExperience a wildly inventive blend of murder mystery\, satire\, and physical comedy. \n\n🎭 About the Show\nMeet Feedback—a riotous\, surreal\, and surprisingly poignant murder mystery reimagined by South African theatre legend Andrew Buckland. Known for his award-winning physical theatre style and sharp satire\, Buckland transforms this eccentric tale into a vibrant feast of humour\, movement\, and absurdity. \nDirected and written by Buckland\, the production unfolds with outrageous flair: two feuding brothers\, a detective investigating a crime\, and a cast of flying cheeses (and other foodstuffs!) collide in a storyline that skewers themes of food consciousness\, globalisation\, and human excess. Ultimately\, it reveals both our capacity for greed and our capacity for altruism. \n\n🎬 About the Director & Show Background\nAndrew Frederick Buckland (born 1954) is a foundational figure in South African theatre—an award-winning playwright\, performer\, academic\, and mime artist. His signature style combines physical clowning\, poetic imagery\, and socially incisive storytelling. \nFeedback premiered in 1995 to acclaim\, winning awards at festivals—including the Scotsman Fringe Award in Edinburgh. Buckland’s works\, such as The Ugly Noo Noo (1989) and Laugh the Buffalo (2013)\, highlight his talent for blending absurd humour with deeper human insight. \n\n🎞️ The Fires Burning Company\nThis edition of Feedback is performed by Baxter’s dynamic Fires Burning Company\, featuring talented actors recently seen in acclaimed productions like La Ronde\, Metamorphoses\, Neighbourhood\, and Othello. The ensemble includes Carlo Daniels\, Awethu Hleli\, Nolufefe Ntshuntshe\, and Lyle October—all guided by acclaimed assistant director Roshina Ratnam (noted for Life & Times of Michael K\, Hamlet). \n\n⭐ Why You Should See It\n\nDiscover a theatrical experience that defies genre: equal parts mystery\, absurdist comedy\, and physical theatre.\nEngage with bold commentary on consumerism\, globalization\, and human behaviour through movement and satire.\nEnjoy high-octane ensemble performance\, with actors seamlessly switching roles and creating live comedy magic.\nSupport innovative South African theatre\, rooted in both tradition and contemporary critique.\n\n\n📅 Event Details\n\n\n\n\n\nDetail\nInfo\n\n\n\n\nDates\n8–30 August 2025\n\n\nShowtimes\n20:00 (Evenings) & Sat matinees at 14:30\n\n\nVenue\nBaxter Studio\, Baxter Theatre Centre\, Main Road\, Rondebosch\, Cape Town\n\n\nTicket Prices\nR160 – R240 via Webtickets\n\n\nAccessibility\nWheelchair accessible

SUMMARY:Odd Man Out by Stuart Taylor
DESCRIPTION:Cape Town\, South Africa – One of South Africa’s most celebrated comedians\, Stuart Taylor\, is set to bring his brand-new stand-up show\, Odd Man Out\, to the Baxter Theatre. \nKnown for his razor-sharp wit and captivating storytelling\, Taylor’s latest offering promises a fresh\, hilarious take on life’s peculiarities and the universal feeling of being an outsider in one’s own world. \nThis laugh-out-loud performance is a candid exploration of the awkward moments that have shaped Taylor’s life. \nFrom his teenage attempts at magic tricks gone hilariously wrong to navigating the often-chaotic world of parenting two teenage boys in his 40s\, Taylor’s shows that standing out isn’t a curse – it’s pure comedy gold. \nFresh from winning the Ovation Award at the 2024 National Arts Festival in Makhanda\, Odd Man Out is an uproarious\, self-deprecating journey through the highs and lows of Taylor’s life as a suburban dad in his 40s. \n“Odd Man Out sums up my life perfectly. I’ve always been that guy who doesn’t quite fit in – like a vegan at a braai. Whether it was fumbling through marriage in Learner Husband or untangling my identity in Techni-Coloured\, I was always on the outside looking in. The twist? Turns out\, everyone feels that way sometimes! So\, this show salutes all of us misfits. We’re like puzzle pieces that don’t fit—except we’re still trying to squeeze into the wrong box just to feel included\,” he says. \nWith his sharp and relatable sense of humour\, Stuart takes the audience on a ride through the absurdities of everyday life\, giving a humorous take on everything from the struggles of maintaining a midlife fitness routine to the complexities of being a “learner husband.” And let’s not forget the unique challenge of keeping up with his private-school-attending teenage sons—an experience that’s anything but ordinary. \nThe show dives into the awkwardness of growing older while trying to stay relevant in a world full of younger\, faster\, and fitter people. Stuart doesn’t shy away from the challenges that come with hitting the 40s\, including the strange contradictions of trying to stay in shape while balancing a career\, family\, and the occasional midlife crisis. Through it all\, he never loses his trademark wit and charm\, proving that a little self-deprecation can go a long way. \n“This is 100% organic\, free-range comedy from my own life. People always think their stories are so unique\, like\, “You won’t believe this!” Spoiler alert: We all do the same weird things! My goal is to shine a light on those relatable moments and prove we’re all dealing with the same chaos—just in different disguises. Comedy: the great unifier of our collective human dysfunction\,” admits Taylor. \nIn Odd Man Out\, Stuart turns the most cringeworthy experiences into comedic brilliance. Whether he’s sharing the trials of trying to remain the “cool dad” while managing parent-teacher meetings or the hilarity of learning how to cook dinner without burning everything\, his storytelling and observational humour will have audiences in stitches. \n“It’s all about owning that oddball status. Impostor syndrome gets a bad rap\, but hey\, if everyone else is a clone\, the standout becomes the superhero\, right? I mean\, Spider-Man wouldn’t be special if half of New York was crawling up walls too\,” says Taylor. \nHe even adds a touch of magic to his routine\, revisiting his early fascination with illusions – though this time\, the magic is less about sleight of hand and more about transforming life’s everyday mishaps into comedic gold. \nExpect an evening filled with laughs\, relatable moments\, and plenty of heart as Taylor takes you through a variety of experiences that range from downright embarrassing to delightfully funny. Whether it’s his tales of disastrous family holidays\, navigating the world of technology as a 40-something\, or the funny side of ageing\, Odd Man Out offers an honest\, entertaining\, and unfiltered look at life through the eyes of a man who’s come to embrace his quirks and imperfections. \nTaylor’s ability to connect with his audience is what truly sets him apart. He has become one of South Africa’s most beloved comedians with his down-to-earth style and relatable material. \nHis charm lies in his ability to turn everyday frustrations into something hilarious\, making Odd Man Out a must-see show for anyone who has ever found themselves in an awkward situation -and let’s face it\, who hasn’t? \n“The Baxter Theatre is like a second home – only with better lighting and fewer arguments about whose turn it is to do the dishes. It’s iconic\, intimate\, and in Cape Town\, which means I get to be near the mountain that all Capetonians use to justify their rent prices. Plus\, it’s only a R70 Uber home\,” he shares. \nOdd Man Out is expected to tour the rest of the country in 2025. \nShow Details: \n\nDates: 4– 8 March 2025\nVenue: The Baxter Theatre\, Cape Town\nTickets: From R180 at www.webtickets.co.za\nAge Restriction: PG13\nDirect booking link: https://www.webtickets.co.za/v2/event.aspx?itemid=1557114951\n\nAbout Stuart Taylor\nWith over 25 years in the entertainment industry\, Stuart Taylor is one of South Africa’s top comedians.

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.

SUMMARY:Hail to the King! A Musical Story
DESCRIPTION:Fresh from a successful tour of the USA and Canada\, Mhlambi brings a new production to town: a celebration of Africa’s rich heritage and artistic excellence. Hail to the King promises to be an enjoyable performance for the whole family\, as it incorporates elements of storytelling\, classical music and African izibongo poetry.\n \nDr Mhlambi is an honorary research fellow at the University of Cape Town’s (UCT) Archive and Public Culture Research Initiative. Written\, performed and produced by this multi-talented musician\, this hot-property musical genius is ready to take the stage at the Baxter Theatre\, a 3-day must-see show from the 4 to 6 April 2024. \nThe 37-year-old KwaZulu-Natal composer is known for incorporating art with music\, having held an artistic residency at the prestigious Cite International des Arts in Paris\, France\, and having his music used as a soundtrack for an exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. \nIn this concert\, Mhlambi presents a body of work fusing African and classical elements. It features himself on baroque cello and voice\, plus other orchestral instruments. The cast also includes a vocal ensemble.\n \nHail to the King! A Musical Story is based on a site visit to the ancient Zulu capital of King Dingane. The story is a retrieval of the aura of the ancient capital of King Dingane\, the Zulu emperor\, in the 1830s. His capital\, Umgungundlovu\, was a site of fascination for African communities and European settlers alike. Reports of the capital travelled as far as the kingdom of Basutho\, the Cape and many other places. \nMhlambi said his compositions to be showcased culminate years of work researching and developing the music. “This work was inspired by my involvement in the Five Hundred Year Archive project at UCT. For the music\, I had to look at the works of historical predecessors like the late icons Prof Mzilikazi Khumalo and BP Tyamzashe – who were great composers in the African tradition\, fusing the old and new\, African & modern elements\, towards a whole new sound\,” he added. \nFollowing a Fellowship in Germany\, Mhlambi presents a suite of new music composed for himself on the baroque cello\, plus other instrumentalists and vocalists. \nThe work is made up of three main sections\, including meeting of the elephants\, the unveiling of the royal woman\, and the king’s dance.\n“This is the first arrangement of my music for a full string ensemble and vocal consort. Cape Town people are in for a treat with me playing cello\, singing as well as directing the ensemble\, while the important historical message is told on stage\,” said Mhlambi. \nThe work is proudly supported by UCT\, the National Institute for the Humanities and Social Sciences\, and Afropolitan Explosiv. \nSo what makes the show different: “This is a full theatrical-dramatic production\, which is different from Mhlambi usual offering of music. It shows my vision on a larger scale\, which helps give visual imagery to the musical work unfolding. The show is highly interactive and uses lighting design\,” said Mhlambi. \nEVENT DETAILS\nDATE: 4-6 April 2024\nVENUE: Golden Arrow Studio\, Baxter Theatre\nTIME: 20:00pm\nTICKETS: www.webtickets.co.za\, and are R130\, special price for students and pensioners\nDirect booking link for tickets: https://www.webtickets.co.za/v2/event.aspx?itemid=1542858743 \nFor more details about Thokozani\, visit his website: http://thokozanimhlambi.com\nor on Facebook: @thokozani.music\, Instagram: @thokozani_mhlambi \nABOUT DR THOKOZANI MHLAMBI \n\nDr Thokozani Mhlambi is not your usual musician. Not only does he play the cello\, sing and compose his own songs\, but Mhlambi uses his art and exhibitions to convey African stories/philosophies.\nBorn in Madadeni\, KwaZulu-Natal\, after fulfilling music studies in South Africa & Sweden\, Mhlambi received his PhD in Music at the University of Cape Town. In South Africa\, he has showcased work at leading platforms such as the National Arts Festival\, Soweto Theatre and the Playhouse—where he drew audiences from all walks of life.\nIn 2023\, Mhlambi was invited to be part of the Reimagining America Program 2023\, where he worked with youth string-players from the city of Providence (Rhode Island)\nIn 2024\, Mhlambi performed in Atlanta. His show was rated as the best-gig-of-the-week by Arts Atlanta news.\n\nHe has also been a visiting lecturer at Simon Fraser University in Vancouver (Canada)\, where he performed at the World Arts Centre. He has performed at venues such as Elastic Arts in Chicago\, Prachtwerk in Berlin\, Minneapolis\, New Orleans (Tulane)\, São Paulo\, Maputo (Mozambique) and New York. \n\nRecently\, Mhlambi’s rendition of Lizalise Idinga Lakho by Tiyo Soga (from his debut album Zulu Song Cycle)\, was featured in an exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in New York.  Mhlambi was an invited contributor to the roaming academy of the Dutch Art Institute\, an itinerant program fostering various creative practices at the intersection of art & theory.\nIn 2020\, Mhlambi was selected as an Artist-in-Residence at Cite International Des Arts in Paris\, supported by the Institut Français. He used the time to connect with artists from different parts of the world\, specifically the African continent\, and to develop new creative work.\nCurrently Mhlambi is working on building a digital repository of early African composers such as Enoch Sontonga\, John & Nokutela Dube\, Reuben Caluza\, to mention a few. This is a project which is a collaboration between the Killie Campbell Africana Library (at UKZN)\, the Five Hundred Year Archive Project (at UCT) and Afropolitan Explosiv.
