This children's theatre production, drawing on the work of storyteller Dr Gcina Mhlophe, strings together short, self-contained African folktales, each one separated by song and dance, into a delightful show. Full of audience participation and warmth, it proves heritage is best passed on through joy rather than lecture.

A puppet dog, a scene-stealing crocodile, and a cast of fourty young performers bringing Neverland to life with real polish and plenty of heart. This is a Peter Pan Jr. that earns its magic honestly, and leaves you humming all the way home.

A tiny heroine, a room full of four to eight year olds, and a production that knows exactly who it's for. The Adventures of Thumbelina turns careful pacing, audience participation and a few familiar faces into a thoroughly joyful afternoon, and why that precision matters more than it might seem.

Peter Pan Jr. is a joyful, visually inventive production that captures both the wonder of childhood and the bittersweet reality of growing up. With a superb cast of adults and children, magical flying effects, and genuine heart, this is a trip to Neverland well worth taking.

Roald Dahl's story of golden tickets and quiet goodness is as potent as ever, and Pretoria Youth Theatre's production brings it to life with infectious energy, committed young performers, and a warmth that fills the room. A joyful treat for families and anyone who still believes in a little magic.

Shrek The Musical Jr. is back, and it is as joyful, irreverent, and quietly radical as ever. This is a fairy tale for everyone who has ever felt like they didn't quite fit the mould, told with colour, comedy, and a whole lot of heart. A brilliant afternoon out for the whole family.

The Frog Prince and Other Fantastic Stories transforms young audience members from passive observers into active heroes of their own adventures. This isn't just children's entertainment, it's interactive storytelling at its finest.

Peoples Theatre's production of Matilda The Musical Jr. delivers pure theatrical magic through fearless young performers who embrace Tim Minchin's brilliant score and Roald Dahl's empowering story with infectious passion and total commitment.

A review of 'Diary of a Wimpy Kid' - a rare children's production that entertains while respecting its young audience's intelligence and empathizing with the challenges of social integration in school.

My review of Seussical Jr at the Peoples Theatre.

My review of Madagascar: A Musical Adventure Jr.

Winnie the Pooh Kids is a wonderful production celebrating friendship, kindness, and adventure. All of these aspects make Winnie the Pooh the most important children’s philosopher there is.

‘Fantastic Mr. Fox’ is a superb children’s theatre production whose outdoor theatre innovation was birthed out of necessity thanks to the ongoing pandemic.
