Theatre shows for adults and kids
The Peoples Theatre has been introducing young audiences to the magic of theatre for more than 25 years, performing to over 150,000 children each year. Each production is carefully staged and directed to entertain and educate young audiences with song, dance, life lessons, and just enough slapstick and adult humour thrown in to ensure that Mom and Dad are just as enthralled. Professional actors and amazing stage design makes this an unforgettable experience for young and old!
Situated in the Joburg Theatre Complex (formerly the Johannesburg Civic Theatre, this purposely created Children’s Theatre is South Africa’s flagship theatre for young people, staging over 8 productions per year. Children are inspired, enchanted and challenged by the power of theatre, where a story book comes to life on stage through elaborate sets, costumes, good sounds, lighting and professional actors.
Peoples Theatre believes that all theatre, whether it be for adults or children, has to enjoy the same high levels of production.
The Kids Club
Children who join the Kids’ Club for just R140.00 a year receive discounted rates on tickets and also get to enjoy free entrance to a show that falls closest to their birthday. Kids Club members receive fun newsletters and stand to win fabulous prizes in exciting competitions.
Matilda at the Peoples Theatre
Date:
Info:
Peoples Theatre is delighted to announce that, for the very first time, they will be producing Matilda the Musical Jr.
Matilda is the tale of a brilliant little girl with telekinetic powers. She has an unhappy life with her parents and the show follows her in her attempts to turn her life around. Matilda’s parents believe she is a nuisance while she thinks they are only interested in watching the television.
Life at school isn't much better thanks to the monstrous headmistress Miss Trunchbull. The headmistress terrifies both students and teachers alike until one day Matilda discovers she has a very special power. She decides it's time to teach the grown-ups a lesson.
She also develops an unlikely friendship with her teacher Miss Honey, who admires Matilda’s intellect and almost magical abilities. As the plot progresses, the musical explores the bond between Matilda and Miss Honey, and Matilda’s desire for freedom.
This is an enchanting tale that delves deeper into Roald Dahl's themes of self-empowerment and finding one's true self.
Matilda features the spectacular combination of Dahl’s plucky heroine, a moving script by writer Dennis Kelly and hilarious words and music by Australian comedian Tim Minchin makes this a treat your children will remember forever.
Adults will also enjoy and appreciate the show’s clever humour and word-play just as much as the children. With catchy original songs, it’s pure magic from scene to scene!
