Ai Meraai! Die bruidjies Dit en Dot!
By Mikro

The popular local author Mikro is perhaps best known for writing Mattewis and Meraai, and other tales about the quaint and charming lives of the people of the small town of Gonnakolk. In this hilarious yet heart warming show, Van Rooy plays a number of characters in the small Karoo town.

The show enjoyed great success at Hermanus, Krugersdorp, the Pierneef theatre in Pretoria, and last year’s Cultivaria Festival in Paarl.

5 and 27 March and 1 and 29 May
Pille en Brille
By Henk Pretorious

Two elderly female friends in a retirement home start competing with each other after the arrival of a new widower. Yvonne Schoeman and newcomer Deon Vermaak join Van Rooy in this hilarious romp.

From the contemporary pen of the Bakgat scriptwriter, comes this riotous farce for stage. It was successfully presented in Promusica’s Basement Theatre last year before being performed at the Kalfie Festival in Hermanus during August - to capacity audiences.

April 24th
Dot Serfontein vertel

Van Rooy brings us an old favourite that has played to enthusiastic audiences at cultural festivals such as Die Woordfees in Stellenbosch, Cultivaria in Paarl, Die Rittefees cultural week and the Volksblad Kunstefees.

Like Mikro before her, Dot Serfontein - mother of the famous Antjie Krog - was no stranger to seeing the comedy in the world around her. Her famous daughter pointed out that her mother would frequently have her in stitches. Dot wrote about her life as a farmer’s wife in Kroonstad, raising chickens and children. It is a real treat. Critics at the festivals have noted that Van Rooy really gets under the skin of Dot Serfontein.
