The Baxter Theatre Centre invites emerging theatre-makers and students to apply for the latest edition of The Baxter Masterclass, themed Page to Stage, focusing on scenography.

Facilitated by director, scenographer, designer and producer Wolf Britz, this three-part masterclass explores how a productionโ€™s visual identity develops from concept to stage, focusing on set, lighting, projection and costume design.

This is an opportunity for emerging theatre-makers and students to develop their skills and gain valuable insight into professional theatre design practices.

After its debut earlier this year, ROSES & THORNS returns to the stage in a new setting, bringing Jimmy Nevisโ€™s music to life through a fresh theatrical lens.

Featuring songs from his 14-year catalogue, a six-piece live band and four compelling stories performed by actor Dean Smith, the production explores love, loss, violence, family and hope.

Rooted in Cape Town and inspired by Jimmyโ€™s identity and lived experience as a Coloured man, ROSES & THORNS is a powerful fusion of music, identity and storytelling.

DON GIOVANNI IS HERE: starting on Thursday 22 October until Sunday 25 October 2026, Opera UCTโ€™s production of Mozartโ€™s Don Giovanni comes to The Baxterโ€™s Pam Golding Theatre stage.

Staged by French-American director Talia Stern, with designs by Allegra Bernacchioni. The Opera UCT cast and chorus, joined by the CPO, are conducted by Peggy Wu and Jeremy Silver.

Don Giovanni seduces and deceives women without conscience. But when one of his conquests leads to the murder of the girlโ€™s father, a sinister force is unleashed from beyond the grave. Don Giovanniโ€™s years of cruelty and debauchery catch up with him and he finds himself facing death head on.

Mozart and his librettist cover the spectrum from terror to humour in a totally absorbing story that asks compelling questions about s*x, seduction, the pursuit of individual freedom and the right to defy societal norms.
