Spektrum Kinderteater wie verantwoordelik is vir die populêre produksies Rooikappie en die Wolf, Sneeuwitjie en die sewe dwerge en Aspoestertjie span weer saam om die sprokie, Dolf Wolf en die drie Varkies, op die planke te bring. Dié klassieke sprokie, is tot ’n vermaaklike toneelstuk verwerk deur Gaerin Hauptfleisch. Die drie varkies besluit om hulle eie paadjie te loop en elk ook hul eie huisie te bou. Hier word hul deur slegte raad bedien en soos in die sprokie is Dolf die Wolf gou op hul spoor om te kyk of hy dalk ’n gaping kan raaksien om homself van ’n smaaklike ete te voorsien. Of Dolf se long kapasiteit op die einde genoeg gaan wees om ’n Faktotum geïnspireerde baksteen huisie te vernietig, en of Dolf sy middagmaal gaan kry sal gehore maar self moet kom kyk. Die lede van die professionele akteurspan is onder andere Alex Marais, Stephanie Badenhorst en Lize-Meri Smallberger.

Dié klassieke sprokie, oorspronklik deur die broers Grimm, is tot ’n vermaaklike toneelstuk verwerk deur Gaerin Hauptfleisch, wie ook die regie behartig en selfs een of twee verassende verskynings op die verhoog maak as die teësinnige faktotum en algemene alles regmaker. Soos in die die sprokie dwaal Rooikappie van die pad af as sy medisyne vir haar siek ouma neem, en verdwaal sy in die bos. Hier kom sy nare Dolf, die woeste wolf teë, wat blitsvinnig ’n plan smee om haar en haar siek ouma as smaaklike happie te geniet, dalk met ’n sopie plantwortel jenewer, want hy hou daarvan so. Gehore sal dan maar net moet sien of die houtkapper en van die ander bosbewoners wat Rooikappie teëkom haar en haar Ouma kan red van Dolf die Wolf se onderduimse planne. Regisseur Gaerin Hauptfleisch is al bekend vir sy prettige “panto-mini’s” soos Aswoestertjie en Sneeuwatjie? Die ander lede van die gedugte professionele akteurspan is Esther von Waltsleben, Stephanie Hough en Jan-Hendrik Opperman wat al vele kindertoneelstukke op hulle gesamentlike kerfstok het, nie net by Kunstefeeste soos KKNK nie, maar ook by skole oor die hele Wes-Kaap.

Be sure not to miss conceptual wildlife artist John Moore's current show at the SA Print Gallery. These particular works have never been exhibited in Cape Town before. On show are a selection of John Moore's woodcuts, etchings and lithographs. John's exceptionally detailed and realistic works are depictions of wildlife and the poignant plight of endangered species. This is at a time when there is urgent need to change our attitude to the environment and nature, which John feels passionate about. His style contains elements of surrealism and traditional naturalism which merge into thoughtful reflections of our age. John believes his work assists the viewer to find their own interpretation and allows the work to speak to them personally. The imagery often includes references to the Khoi-San - which he believes are the ‘first people' of the Southern African continent. This evocative body of work is where the human and the spirit world meet. To read more and see more of John Moore's work http://printgallery.co.za/

LINE, a one-act comedy by Israel Horovitz, is the longest-running play in New York, now brought to Cape Town for the very first time by Sugar-daddy Theatre Co. Running from the 18th to the 28th of April 2012 at the Little Theatre, Orange Street; Age restriction 2-18; tickets are R80 for adults, R60 for students and pensioners, and are available through Computicket. This absurdist-style play centres on five people waiting in a queue, none of them seemingly know what they are waiting for, but all are desperate to get first place in line. The drama unravels as they squabble, trick, fight, and betray each other to get ahead. It is a character-driven play making a profound statement about society and human behaviour. ‘Stephen’, played by Bjorn Steinbach, is the flamboyant ‘wanna-be’ genius who always seems to get first in line. Leon Clingman, who at one time directed LINE in New York, plays ‘Flemming’, a dim-witted baseball fan. Marlisa Doubell portrays ‘Molly’, a woman who uses her sexuality to get ahead, while Gavin Werner plays her tormented husband, ‘Arnall’. The shady ‘Dolan’ is played by Aidan Whytock. Award-winning director Yvonne Copley heads the team. Written by the acclaimed Jewish-American playwright of over 70 plays, many of which have been translated and performed worldwide, Israel Horovitz’s LINE is currently in its record-breaking 38th year at the 13th Street Repertory Theatre in New York, and it has been staged in over 25 countries and translated into over 35 languages.

Tonight Neither Hamlet, features Guy de Lancey with direction by Chris Weare, who recently received the Fleur du Cap Lifetime Achievement Award. A comic look at what happens behind the theatre curtain from the perspective of one of the forgotten characters of theatre, the curtain puller. Pushed front and centre by a co-incidence of occurrences, he reveals what the audience doesn't see, and at the same time, some of his lost dreams and ambitions in the world of theatre. Funny, poignant and entertaining.

In this exhibition van Schalkwyk plays with ‘Painting’s’ relationship to the ‘Documentary’ in order to engage a world ‘freeze-framed’ in time. Through his painterly investigation of the everyday life of an isolated community, van Schalkwyk captures the passage of time and its navigation of the temporal to the eternal. The work draws from a five year period of observation, of the Jatniël Faith home community where he spent his childhood. Documenting the everyday activities and rituals; traditions and values; the environment and the effect time has on this community of people, he elevates the mundane to create a metaphor for life as a spiritual activity, highlighting their value system of putting God and community ahead of the individual.

Your pet could be just what the judges are looking for in the SPCA Royal Canin Mutt & Meow of the Year online pet photo competition, which runs from 10 April to 21 May 2012 and aims to help hundreds of homeless pets by finding the most-loved and adored cat and dog online. An adaptation of the Cape of Good Hope (CoGH) SPCA’s popular Mutt of the Year competition, which was held annually for 15 years, the new online competition makes it possible for many more dogs to stand a chance of winning the coveted Mutt of the Year title and for the first time gives cat-lovers an opportunity to brag about their feline friends in the new Meow of the Year category. Unlike traditional pet competitions which reward dogs and cats with fancy pedigrees and pure-bred characteristics, the SPCA Royal Canin Mutt & Meow of the Year will celebrate the unconditional love and special companionship between pet owners and their canine and feline friends, regardless of their breed. The competition also aims to help hundreds of stray and abandoned animals not as fortunate as those being entered for the titles of Mutt & Meow of the Year, by encouraging pet owners to get their friends and family to vote and donate online to the CoGH SPCA. The four competition prize categories include the Mutt of the Year and Meow of the Year, which is open to all cats and dogs and the Mutt Top Fundraiser and Meow Top Fundraiser, which will be awarded to the pet and owner who through their votes raises the most amount of money for the CoGH SPCA.
