Dear *|FNAME|*

With the change in season, and easing of Lockdown restrictions, The Masque team is delighted to invite you to join us in our Spring Season 2020. A three weekend festival with facets on stage, offstage, online and even in the garden!

Though our full programming may take a few months to gear up to full force, we have been planning something special these past weeks - with no less than three premieres on the cards.

Kicking us off this coming Friday, 25 September, is the premiere of a brand new show by Godfrey Johnson, a light-hearted musical reflection of a deeply personal journey: Johnson InsanitIzed. [Seating is limited, so book now!] This is the first of 3 Premieres we're fortunate to host this month.

We're opening the doors in unusual ways too: The Muizenberg Community Garden found a home in the Masque Theatre Parking lot. On Sunday 27 September, you're invited to "Lush n Local" A visit to the food garden supporting CAN, and fascinating talks about herb spirals, edible 'weeds' and fynbos.

On Saturday 3 October we welcome kids and parents to a Matinee and Workshop at The Masque, thanks to Jungle Theatre. On Saturday 11 October ,we invite beginner actors to an introduction to the Masque in our New Actors workshop.


- If you live far away, or are needing to stay at home for a little longer: for the first time ever, we have one or two digital offerings of some Masque favourites so that you can join us in spirit from afar


We are so excited to welcome you back this month,


The Masque Theatre team

Masque Spring Season Daisy
This week

A Premiere at the Masque!

Multi award winning performer Godfrey Johnson presents an all new post-lockdown one man extravaganza. Johnson shares stories of his plunge into sobriety and explores the art of managing oneself as a middle aged man in this extraordinary day and age.

Join Johnson as he accompanies himself on piano and performs new compositions inspired by the madness and unpredictability of the Twenty First Century.

New unknown hits include “Quarantine Man”,”The Johnson Jukebox” and “Mozart and Me”. Johnson is known for his interpretations of the work of Jacques Brel and Noel Coward and in this show we get to hear more of his original work as well as songs by Waits, Porter, Sondheim and other masterful song writers.

Time: 7pm
Date: Friday 25 September, Saturday 26 September
Ticket: R100
Length: 70 minutes
Bookings: bookings@themasque.co.za or 082 694 6879
