Booking is now open for the Playhouse Company’s ever-popular Primary School’s Omnibus which takes place in the Playhouse Opera from August 17 to 20.

The Omnibus offers “a magical brew of home-spun theatre which will include a pinch of music, a dash of dance and a hint of drama, exposing pupils to the major aspects of theatre in an educational and entertaining manner.”

Following closely on the recent success of the Omnibus for high schools the primary schools’ event promises to offer a wide selection of theatrical experiences ranging from the Kwa-Zulu Natal Philharmonic Orchestra to contemporary dance. Included in the line-up is the Madcaps Creative Education Company which will address the issues of peer pressure, friendship, racial prejudice, moral behaviour and personal growth in its production Brilliant as well as a mini-musical.

The Primary Schools’ Omnibus takes place from 09h30 to 11h00 and from 12h00 to 13h30 from August 17 to 29. The cost is R5 per pupil (admission free for teachers). Book now on (031) 369-9448.
