Peoples Theatre is absolutely thrilled to announce our upcoming production, IMAGINE AFRICA: Our Stories Brought to Life, running from 15 September to 4 October 2026. This year, we are incredibly honoured to feature enchanting stories created by the renowned author and legendary storyteller, Dr. Gcina Mhlophe. Audiences will be treated to her captivating tales, including beloved classics like Golden Windows, How the Lion Got His Roar, and Horns Only, alongside a vibrant selection of other African narratives.
These literary treasures celebrate our rich heritage and the timeless oral tradition of Africa. We bring them to life using pure imagination that sparks curiosity, clever props and vibrant costumes that dazzle the eyes, and popular music that learners and teachers alike will love and sing along to. Our exceptional cast will guide audiences into a world of magical wonder, rhythm, African wildlife, and a delightful array of characters.
Through this signature style of theatre-in-education and active audience participation, learners will not just watch the performance but will step directly into the stories as the characters themselves. By helping these characters navigate challenges and solve problems in real time, students learn first-hand that even the smallest heroes can make a massive impact. This interactive experience offers profound educational benefits that champion community, language development, and teamwork, making it an unforgettable journey across the continent that will inspire the next generation of African storytellers.
