Theatre company KickstArt Theatre, in association with the Baxter Theatre, is bringing its award-winning pantomime magic to Cape Town for the first time this winter, with Jack and the Beanstalk – a delightful production for the whole family – running from 3 to 27 July.

With shows scheduled Tuesdays to Sundays during the school holidays, this theatrical adventure invites families, friends and fans of all ages to swap screen time for storytime.

After enchanting Durban audiences for nearly three decades, KickstArt Theatre is ready to spark a new family tradition in the Mother City.

From the award-winning creative team behind South Africa’s productions of My Fair Lady and Beauty and the Beast, and the director of The Sound of Music, this year’s production of the pantomime Jack and the Beanstalk is written and directed by Steven Stead and designed by three-time Fleur du Cap winner Greg King.

The Cape Town cast stars Waterfront Theatre School graduate William Young as the plucky Jack, with Roshanda Lewis as the golden-voiced Princess Jill, and Blessing Xaba of Spud fame, as Jack’s long-suffering mother, Dame Flora Flatbroke.

Whether you’re a busy mom, a theatre lover, or simply searching for what to do this winter during the mid-year school holidays – this is one experience not to miss.

Book at Webtickets or Pick n Pay stores.

This competition is now closed.
