The Rhumbelow Theatre in Durban has a
structural problem with the safety regarding the roof. It has been inspected by
engineers for safety and this will mean that the roof rafters will need to be
completely replaced. This is a money and time issue. An application for funding
has been submitted by the Rhumbelow MOTHS to the MOTH Province.
All shows that are booked for Durban will
be moved to another temporary venue - St Cyprians Church Hall, 603 Umbilo Road
in Glenwood.
Rhumbelow has partnered with St Cyprians
and with Sunshine Pre-School (they are there in the day).
So all Umbilo, Durban, shows will be held
at St Cyprians Hall. The Moths and St Cyprians have a long standing
relationship and work together on many projects. There will be the normal
Rhumbelow Bar available and you can bring picnics or still buy Rhumbelow’s
delicious burgers and chips.
Roland Stansell, who runs Rhumbelow
Theatre, says: “We have been running the theatre at the Rhumbelow MOTH Hall for
some 16.5 years. We will, for your safety, need to fix/replace the entire roof
structure. If you are in a position that you wish to make any donations towards
this please email me on roland@stansell.za.net or make a direct deposit into the
MOTH bank account.”
