Baxter Theatre to reopen

This limited exclusive season of five performances only, four public performances and a gala event on 3 November, will serve as a benefit fundraiser for the theatre, to help recover some of the income loss during lockdown. All tickets sales will go to the #BaxterCoffeeAngels COVID-19 Relief Fund. To book for the gala event on 3 November e-mail to az.ca.tcu@lyznav.noel.

I am delighted to announce that we will cautiously - and with all Covid-19 protocols observed - be re-opening our beloved Baxter at a 50% seating capacity in accordance with Level 1 lockdown regulations,” said Baxter Theatre CEO Lara Foot.

The following productions are also scheduled for October and November:

Renowned radio broadcaster and actor John Maytham teams up with director Alan Committie and writer Louis Viljoen in the world premiere of The Outlaw Muckridge. Zakes Mda’s acclaimed novel, Ways of Dying, which will be directed by Foot, Mdu Kweyama and Bongile Mantsai, is presented by The Baxter and UCT’s Centre for Theatre, Dance and Performance Studies.

The Cape Town Opera also returns with their production of Mozart’s Così fan Tutte, a powerful tale of love, temptation and fidelity.

The fifth Teksmark, a KKNK project that allows playwrights to present their script as play readings of short extracts, takes place at the end of October.
