Cherryco’s latest production is Balancing Act, a delightful new children's play starring Adi Paxton and directed by Garth Anderson which opens in the Durban Botanic Gardens Open Air Theatre above the Tea Room off Sydenham Road on September 28 for a short run.

Through comedy, drama and song, Balancing Actteaches children about the terrible misuse of our planet Earth. Although light and in touch with children aged 4 to 12, and suitable for mums, dads, grans and grampas, Balancing Actdiscusses global warming, pollution, and how we can prevent the destruction of our world. Adi uses magic and puppets to keep children's attention for over 40 minutes of life-saving advice.

‘Being less than an hour in length forty minutes without an interval, even young children will be able to watch the performance without having to disrupt mum by needing to go to the toilet,” says Adi.

Being involved the performing arts for many years as Cherry the magical clown, Adi the Magicienne and other entertaining characters, Adi’s goal is to provide children with useful information.
