Presented by the Oakfields College Faculty of Musical Theatre and Dance, in collaboration with VR Theatrical - this project was initiated in response to the call for job creation within the theatre sector and to provide work opportunities and paid contracts for performers, technicians, and creatives - many of whom have not had the opportunity to work in their field since the lockdown was first implemented. This initiative is made possible by funds received from the Presidential Employment Stimulus Programme (PESP).
To enjoy this celebration of contemporary musical songs from the comfort and safety of your own home, pop over to QUICKET to make your booking.
Tickets cost just R80 (for the whole family) and 100% of the proceeds will be donated to the Anthony Farmer Oakfields Trust bursary to aid financially needy students with bursaries to pursue their tertiary training within the performing arts sector.
The Anthony Farmer Oakfields College Trust was established to assist financially needy and deserved performing arts students with their tuition fees, and to ensure that the enormous amount of mind-blowing talent in South Africa does not go untapped due to the financial restraints of students. The trust aims to ensure that passionate young performers have equal opportunity to achieve their dreams regardless of race, gender or economic positioning.
