All scheduled productions and events at The
Playhouse Company have been postponed. This has become necessary following the
limit of 100 people placed on gatherings in South Africa by the country’s
President, Cyril Ramaphosa, in efforts to prevent the spread of the
Coronavirus.
With the safety of staff, artists and
patrons paramount, and in line with actions taken by most theatres and
entertainment organisations countywide, The Playhouse Company has postponed all
scheduled productions – as well as the 10th Sishaya Ingoma, the popular
traditional Zulu dance competition that had been scheduled for March 21 at
Durban’s Currie’s Fountain.
“No scheduled productions will be staged by
The Playhouse Company until the end of May, or until further notice,” said
Linda Bukhosini, Chief Executive Officer and Artistic Director of The Playhouse
Company, an agency of the Department of Arts and Culture, which embraces the
government’s principles of social cohesion and nation-building.
“New dates and times for all planned
productions will be posted on The Playhouse Company website and social media
platforms as soon as they are finalised,” she added.
