BOTANICAL GARDEN RESCUE

The Friends of the Durban Botanic Gardens together with Dr Shalina Naicker’s Nuldeaz Academy of Speech and Drama present Rock Out the Show Kidz in Botanical Garden Rescue.

Botanical Garden Rescue is a fun, interactive musical that aims to educate and inspire parents and children alike to appreciate South Africa’s parks and gardens. Audiences will meet the “friends” of the Botanical Gardens who want to preserve it. The “friends” are in conflict with the children who prefer entertainment venues.

Then there is the nutty professor and the sensible teacher who are both funny, but determined to preserve the natural environment. The audience will get to sing and dance along to songs like We Will Rock You, Earth Song, Under Pressure, etc and participate in a placard demonstration. There are also prizes to be won!

Botanical Garden Rescue is written and directed by Dr Shalina Naicker and choreographed by Andre Brahim. The show takes place at 14h30 on July 8 in the Durban Botanic Gardens’ Amphitheatre Under the Fig Tree. Tickets R30 (R20 youngsters five years and upwards) More information from Linda Larratt at DBG on 031 309 9243
