Johannesburg, Monday, 28 June 2010 - A star cast of performers will keep visitors to the Market Theatre and Windybrow Theatre in Johannesburg entertained for the remainder of the 2010 FIFA World Cup, courtesy of the Department of Arts and Culture.
The Market Theatre will continue to feature some top act South African artists until July 11, including Jozi, The Parlotones, Lira and Karen Zoid, amongst many others. The fun starts at 21h00 each evening and is a chance for local fans to connect with South African music, or our international guests to be exposed to the rhythm of Mzansi.
The Windybrow Theatre in Hillbrow is also benefiting from funding from the Department of Arts and Culture as it seeks to reinvent itself, and will have some exciting shows in its line-up such as The Island, written by Athol Fugard and directed by Mpho Molepo, which will be staged from July 6 to 11.
The Market Theatre and Windybrow performances are part of the Department of Arts and Culture's (DAC) exciting projects which they are funding both before, during and after the 2010 FIFA World Cup. Many of these projects will leave a lasting legacy for the people in the communities where they will be developed, and also help showcase the cultural diversity and history of South Africa and its people.
All shows begin at 21h00.
