La Diva is 'n een van die mees opwindende musiekgroepe om die musiekbedryf te betree. Met hulle oorspronklike musiek, wat 'n gesofistikeerde mengsel is van volwasse kontemporêre popmusiek en 'n stewige dosis jazz, is hulle 'n vars bries in 'n musieklandskap waar dit haas onmoontlik geraak het om een groep van 'n ander te onderskei. La Diva het hulle KKNK debuut in 2009 gemaak met hulle vertoning Wonderbra’s, Stiletto’s en al daai jazz, wat uitstekend deur gehore ontvang is en waarmee hulle bewys het dat hulle die spreekwoordelike spyker sommer met ‘n hoëhakskoen op die kop slaan. In 2010 het hulle dit weer gedoen met Cocktails, Convertibles en al daai Jazz, ‘n “upbeat” samesmelting van oorspronklike- en bekende musiek, humor, en inspirerende musikaliteit. Soos feesvoos lede van die gehoor gesê het: “Ons was moeg toe ons hier aangekom het, maar nou is ons reg om die dorp rooi te verf!” Die drie Divas bestaan uit Nelmarie Naudé as hoofsanger, Karmi Marais op klavier en agtergrond stemme, en Marlé Jacobsz op dromme, perkussie en agtergrond stemme. Hulle debuut album Like a Feather, is vervaardig deur die bekroonde Marius Brouwer wat al fenomenale werk in die verlede gedoen het met plaaslike legendes soos Nianell, Amanda Strydom en Nataniël, om ‘n paar te noem. La Diva se musiek is 'n vars en oorspronklike mengsel van gedistilleerde kontemporêre popmusiek met 'n stewige skeutjie jazz. Die veelsydige trio se vertonings is geskik vir enige geleentheid, en ewe gemaklik in Afrikaans en Engels. “ ‘n Unieke wenkombinasie wie se musiek toeganklik is vir ‘n breë publiek. Hulle is talentvol, toegewyd en boonop mooi ook!” - Laurika Rauch “Hulle het ‘n niche in die musiek bedryf gevind wat baie min kunstenaars in Suid-Afrika regkry!” – Snotkop.

James Cairns, renowned for his tour-de-force one man shows featuring multiple characters, presents his new comedy, Dirt, hot from its premiere at the National Arts Festival. Dirt, described by Cue as ‘a riot of a play’, encompasses a road trip theme in the form of three friends and a dog named Tom who need to get to a funeral. From the soap star actor Sam, with an ego the size of Everest, to Wayne, a man whose life has fallen through the cracks but who hasn’t realised it yet, Dirt is a hilarious journey of fights and friendship.

Committie play the entire cast of RICHARD III, and attempts to recreate the whole of Shakespeare's powerful text in the guise of the hugely enthusiastic, but sadly misguided, Ivan Williams... Due to unforeseen circumstances, Ivan is unable to gather his full acting company and is compelled to perform all the characters of this great play by himself. It's fast, furious and funny and you can even tell your friends you saw a Shakespeare that you could understand! And, for the first time ever in a ONE MAN SHOW, there is more than one actor. Alan is joined by the beautiful and talented Jo Galloway (Boeing Boeing, Cats The Musical, Hairspray) who plays his estranged East European girlfriend - Petrie. Unable to speak a word of English she has to perform the text phonetically (and like most phones today with poor reception!)

From the creators of the multi-award-winning Karoo Moose, and joined by the extraordinary Rob van Vuuren, comes the brilliant tale of Woyzeck. Written by Georg Büchner in 1834, Woyzeck was the first German literary work whose main characters were members of the working class. Far from being a simple tale of village murder, Woyzeck shows us the systematic debasement, even intellectual and spiritual "murder", of the protagonist and all his class. Directed by Lara Foot with choreography by Ina Wichterich, Woyzeck promises to be a sensual and visual feast for all serious theatre goers!

D-seven Starring PATRICK CRAIG, FRANCOIS SWART, SHIRAZ JOGEE, EUGENE GOUWS, SCOTT LEE-JONES, GRAHAM HILDYARD, NATHAN GROENER and DYLAN MARTIN Directed by IRIT NOBLE MONDAYS 30th AUGUST, 06th and 13th SEPTEMBER 2010 D-seven is an all male a capella (voice only) music group. A Capella music has, for an exceptionally long period, suffered under the impression that it was a music genre lacking sex appeal, audience-accessibility and commercial viability, and perhaps a touch lame. Needless to say, perceptions haven't hindered D-seven, a bold new ensemble that has set the Cape Town music performance scene alight with tight sets, fitted jeans, slick moves and smooth music. And if first impressions are anything to go by, many a fan of high-quality live music will be grovelling to the musical gods in thanks for a long while to come. And grovel you just might. The men of D-seven certainly are a sight to match their sound, which is itself winning wide acclaim. The group is moving from strength to strength, having performed to packed houses on some of the countries premier stages, as well as a number of local television stations. With hits including 'Faith', 'Stand by me', Crazy little thing called love', 'Pata Pata' and medleys of music made famous by Michael Jackson, Beach Boys, Goldfish and Justin Timberlake amongst others, there is something for everyone! D-seven have just returned from a debut run at The National Arts Festival in Grahamstown, where they managed to secure a Standard Bank Ovation Award for being one of the top 36 shows in over 600 productions. Now they'll be hitting the stage of On Broadway with the same gusto for your listening (and viewing) pleasure.

This is the first year that The Maths Club®will be hosting these classes in the Western Cape and it’s due to the fact that since the learning area - Mathematics has been made compulsory, the current assessment structure of the new Mathematics curricula has not been made enough accessible to the majority of learners especially in the townships. The concept of The Maths Club sessions involves tutoring learners from various schools by the principal tutor in a big venue; say a school hall, using audio – visual equipment to amplify the lesson. The duration of each session is three hours at the most and learners receive materials covering all the concepts to be discussed in the session.
