FOR ONE NIGHT ONLY theatre@ the pavilion is hosting the incredible Larry Soffer. Having returned from California, Larry is the first and only South African thus far to have been awarded a membership to the world famous Magic Castle in Hollywood.

Larry amazes his fans and skeptics alike with his repertoire of mentalism, mind-reading, metal bending, levitation and visual complexity. His extensive and varied skills in adult entertainment, establishes this young man as one of SA’s foremost magical talents.

It has also found favour among respected South Africans, namely our former President F.W. de Klerk, Finance Minister Trevor Manuel, The Mayor Helen Zille, Prince Harry (UK) and SA Cricket & Rugby team members , to name a few.

As holder of several Provincial & National Championships, Larry’s blend of controversial and mystifying acts have placed him amongst the ranks of David Copperfield, David Blaine and Lance Burton.

UNDER AN IRISH MOON 

Tribute show to the music from Ireland

7 December - 27 January 2007

The Irish have historically been known as the great migrators, they exported their people, their beer, their whisky, their good nature all over the world, but most of all they exported their music. Their traditional songs and instruments like the fiddle and the pennywhistle have survived into the 21^st century and still generate that mystical aura around those beautiful melodies. For such a small little country, they have produced music that has reached people all over the world.

R-EVOLUTIONARY COMEDY

BY MARC SAMPSON

1 FEBRUARY - 3 MARCH 2007

Inspired by a visit to the Sterkfontein caves, Sampson contemplates a South African future for his kids by looking back at the very origins of the human family - all the way from the great apes to George Bush. He takes us on a rollercoaster taxi-ride through 3 billion years of evolution: from microbes to man via Little Foot, Mrs Ples and a lot of monkeying about.

Don't miss this unique opportunity to see some revolutionary stand-up comedy at the very place where understanding evolution began. A laugh-a-minute hour with one man and a microphone that will make you see our ancestors - and our present - in a whole new light.
