Jeannette Summerton, Roland Perold, Christoff Bothma and Jaco de Wet of BESharp will appear in their production of Life, love and everything else at the Rhumbelow Theatre in Umbilo.

BESharp is made up of four members of the KZN Youth Choir. In their efforts to go to Germany in June/July of 2005, they have created a show inspired by their involvement in the Company of Theatre Arts.

Choreographer and dance instructor Jeannette Summerton has been involved in stage performances for many years. She has performed at the Rhumbelow theatre in previous years with COTA and has performed as the female act in most of the D's M B's performances.

Musical Director Roland is a 3rd year BMUS student at the University of KZN and was handed the task of directing the vocal skills and programme. He is also the official accompanist for the KZN Youth Choir and has been with the choir for over four years.

Christoff Bothma has been in the KZN Youth Choir for over three years now while Jaco de Wet is the comparative newcomer, having joined in 2003.

“Life, love and everything else is a story that is probably told many times over, yet we felt it to be most appropriate by telling it through song,” the group explains. “Of course, you seldom find the humorous side in telling stories about love so we managed to produce a show that incorporates dating on all levels in today’s society. With numbers such as Summer Nights, Kissing a fool, YMCA and Ain’t that a kick in the head you can’t help but wonder how this all relates!”

Shows take place on June 24 and 25 at 20h00 and on June 26 at 18h.30. The venue opens 90 minutes before show for picnic dinner.

Tickets R50. Take along food picnic baskets and braais will be available. There is limited secure parking and booking is essential. A cash bar is available (no alcohol may be brought on to the premises). Rhumbelow Theatre is situated in Cunningham Avenue off Bartle Road.
