THE CONVENT GIRLS

(Tonya Koenderman and Lisa Bobbert)

Lisa Bobbert and Tonya Koenderman are saucier and sassier than ever. (Review by Eiry Myklebust)

Cabaret stars Lisa Bobbert and Tonya Koenderman have been friends for 31 years. They first met at Rosebank Convent, Johannesburg. When they completed school, both girls took up similar careers in show business.

Their show, Convent Girls, is saucier and sassier than ever. Lisa and Tonya take a light-hearted look at the many experiences and ups and downs that they have shared as friends over the years. The show is packed with great songs, humour and irreverence! Convent Girls has won three Theatre Awards, which also included Best Producer and Best Director.

This is a good evening’s entertainment for all ages. Both actresses are exceptionally talented and make an excellent duo with the many popular songs they sing throughout the evening. Tonya does great impersonations of Tina Turner and Shirley Bassey and Lisa has the audience “rolling in the aisles” with her hilarious comedy performances.

Don’t miss this really great show, which is guaranteed to be packed with fun, laughter and terrific songs at the Rhumbelow Theatre this coming weekend only.

Performances of Convent Girls take place at the Rhumbelow Theatre on July 27 and 28 at 20h00 and on July 29 at 18h30.

Don’t forget picnic baskets or you can braai on the braai fires made available to you at the venue. Drinks can be purchased from the well-stocked bar and a car guard is available. Bookings through Roland Stansell on 082 499 8636. - Eiry Myklebust
