Die Klein Libertasteater bied vanaf 11 tot 15 Augustus 2026 hul 19de KLT Tienertoneelfees aan. Omdat die teater steeds nie hul eie teatergebou het sedert die oorspronklike in 2015 afgebrand het nie, word die toneelfees weer vanjaar by die Drostdyteater gehou.

Hierdie jaarlikse toneelfees bied aan leerders ‘n unieke optree geleentheid omdat hulle by geen ander toneelfees sulke intensiewe terugvoer van professionele teaterpraktisyns ontvang nie. Die doel van die fees is om die kwaliteit van deelnemers se werk te verbeter, hulle aan te moedig, aan hulle erkenning te gee, en om Afrikaanse skryfkuns te stimuleer.

Drie professionele teaterpraktisyns beoordeel die produksies en gee na elke opvoering deeglike terugvoer aan die groepe. Verdienstelike deelnemers ontvang sertifikate en aan die einde van die toneelfees word daar by die prysuitdeling trofeë aan die algehele wenners in die verskillende kategorieë oorhandig. Die beste produksie van die fees ontvang die teater se gesogte wisseltrofee en kry ook die geleentheid om by die volgende Suidoosterfees op te tree. Die beoordelaars by vanjaar se toneelfees is Marion Holm, Leatitia Solomons en Oscar Petersen.

Luna Paige is een van Suid-Afrika se mees onderskeidende sanger-liedjieskrywers, bekend vir haar poëtiese lirieke en genre-oorskrydende musiek. In September 2026 stel sy haar nuwe Afrikaanse album, Die Reisigers, bekend – ’n versameling liedere geïnspireer deur haar Camino de Santiago-pelgrimstog en reise deur Suider-Afrika en Europa.

Luna word op die verhoog vergesel deur die bekroonde kitaarspeler Mauritz Lotz, bekend vir sy meesterlike musikaliteit en jare lange samewerking met van Suid-Afrika se voorste kunstenaars. Op klawers en elektronika is André Scheepers, ’n veelbekroonde komponis, vervaardiger en klankkunstenaar wat die produksie se filmiese klankwêreld help vorm. Saam neem hulle gehore op ’n onvergeetlike musikale reis.

Die Reisigers is meer as net ’n album. Luna verpak hierdie musiekversameling in ’n spesiale boek met persoonlike staaltjies, al die lirieke en oorspronklike kunswerke deur Theo Paul Vorster – ’n unieke versamelstuk wat elke Luna Paige-aanhanger in hul boekrak behoort te hê. In ’n digitale era glo Luna dit is belangrik dat musiekliefhebbers iets tasbaar kan vashou: ’n boek waardeur hulle kan blaai, waarin hulle hulself in haar musiekwêreld kan verdiep en wat hulle as ’n blywende herinnering ná die konsert huis toe kan neem.

Following last year's sold-out performance, Selim Kagee returns to the Drostdy Theatre with IL MONDO – Encore, featuring new songs alongside audience favourites. Experience an unforgettable afternoon of timeless music as Selim Kagee's rich, expressive voice brings beloved classics to life in an intimate concert filled with warmth, nostalgia and storytelling.
Selim Kagee's journey into music did not begin with early success. Rejected from his school choir and unsuccessful in securing roles in community theatre, a professional singing career once seemed unlikely. Everything changed at the age of 20 when a chance meeting with a retired opera singer revealed the potential in his voice and inspired him to pursue formal training.

Today, Kagee performs for audiences across Europe, North America, Australia and beyond as a headline entertainer aboard leading ultra-luxury cruise lines.

Career highlights include a recording collaboration with Grammy-nominated Celtic Woman, a recording contract with EMI Records, performances of national anthems for internationally televised rugby internationals involving South Africa, Wales and New Zealand, and a sold-out run of his Il Mondo concert production at Pieter Toerien's Montecasino in Johannesburg.

The programme features timeless favourites including Il Mondo, Always On My Mind and The Wonder of You with some new surprises, woven together with personal stories from his international career and musical journey.

Accompanied by Winston Siljeur on piano, Marlon Green on drums and guest violinist Catherine Smith, and enhanced by beautiful orchestral arrangements, Il Mondo blends classical vocal artistry with the warmth and familiarity of timeless popular songs.

This intimate matinee performance at the Drostdy Theatre offers a rare opportunity to experience Selim Kagee up close in a setting created for connection, storytelling and timeless music.

Roan Ash returns to the stage with a live show built around the thing that matters most the songs.

With his unmistakable voice and stripped-back storytelling, Roan creates a space where every lyric lands and every melody carries weight. Expect moments of quiet intimacy, powerful choruses, and the kind of songs that feel instantly familiar the first time you hear them. No two shows are ever quite the same.

Just Roan Ash, the music, and the stories behind it.

Imagine a talent show, just for puppets? The stakes are high as internationally acclaimed South African ventriloquist Conrad Koch wants his puppets to compete to be the very best, but that pariah, Chester Missing, never does what he is told. Chester spits the honest unfiltered truth. Laugh your choochas off at Gunter the German mosquito, Hilton the dramatic ostrich, DJ Hoodie the puppet who actually DJs, Mr Dixon the high school teacher, and a surprise guest star as they fight it out. The best part is that you, the audience, get to judge as each puppet makes Conrad’s problems worse. A hilarious night out for the whole family.

‘n Storie oor belonging. Kenan stands on a threshold. His people whisper what he must be, but inside him burns another rhythm – the voice of his dreams that can only be heard when all falls silent. He carries the heavy stories of his ancestors in his body: every step weighted with pain, every breath a reminder of a history of oppression. Through dance, he begins to move through time from darkness to light, from captivity to freedom. How will he answer the ancient call of the ghoema?

This play was conceptualized and written by award-winning actress Alyssa Jacobs, originally from the Northern Cape. Though not a Kaapse Klopse participant herself, she grew up immersed in its melodies through watching artists like Emo Adams . Jacobs sought to explore this vibrant tradition and the rich complexity of coloured identity. Visionary director Jeanne-Marié Koekemoer brought the script to life with stunning staging.

Kenan’s journey is an important one to follow, in the heaviness of exploring his lineage his decisions and battles shed light on the importance of finding your own voice in your community as well as honouring your roots. The show is portrayed through the lens of spiritual realism, and this gives the audience members insight into the seen and unseen parts of Kenan’s world. The play also uses physical theatre, a language that the audience members get to learn and understand deeper as the play progresses.

This one-man show gives the audience a true encounter with the legend. “Papa Hemingway was truly in the room.” STELLENBOSCH – Hollywood actor D. David Morin will perform his hit ‘Papa Hemingway Show’ about the venerated Nobel Prize winner (and author of The Old Man and The Sea). Papa Hemingway Show is a live tribute to the legendary author and novelist, Ernest Hemingway, brought to life through a captivating 70-minute one-man performance by D. David Morin, Hollywood actor, writer, and now a Capetonian.

Morin imbues the spirit of Papa Hemingway and shares his incredibly rich and rocky life journey with his prose and the ups and downs of a memorable existence and battling the ‘black dog’ that pursued him daily. The one-man show captures the essence of “Papa” and gives the audience a true encounter with the legend. With an uncanny resemblance, the Hollywood native who’s played opposite Jennifer Aniston, Bill Paxton, Jacob Elordi and countless others is thrilled to be ‘back on the boards’ with his original piece. It’s a brutally raw and honest visit from the past with the legend himself. The reviews are promising…

"a piece of genius" "Morin is uncannily like Big Papa." "riveting.” "brilliant, edge of your seat stuff." "an unforgettable hour." “amazing.” "a phenomenal piece of art... by the perfect actor for the job." “captivating.” “powerful!” “brutally honest.” “beautiful.”
