Let the Magic In This Winter
A warm, laughter-filled escape for the whole family. This winter in Cape Town, step out of the everyday and into something a little more playful.
From the team behind last year’s much-loved Jack and the Beanstalk, KickstArt Theatre returns to the Baxter with Puss in Boots, a joyful pantomime filled with music, mischief, and moments to share together.
As the lights go down and the story begins, something shifts. Children lean forward. Grown-ups forget the day they have had. And for a while, the room fills with laughter, surprise, and that unmistakable sense of being part of something live.
For those looking for family theatre in Cape Town this season, this is an experience that brings people together. It is easy to enjoy, full of heart, and made to be remembered.
