Protea students raise funds for new musical
Another fundraising event is their production of Arabian Date Nights on June 26 and 27.
Students from the Protea Stage Productions Academy served as waiters at Lone Spur in Brentwood Park on June 3 to raise funds for the theatre troupe.
According to chairperson Lynsay Jonker, nine of the academy students shadowed waitrons and served the many family and friends who came out in support of the fundraiser.
“We had a great turnout, and I would like to thank everyone who supported us.
“Just over R5 000 was raised at the Spur event! The funds will be used to buy extra microphones and sound and lighting equipment for our production of Shrek The Musical in August.

“It is also the biggest production Protea has taken on, and we want to do it justice by ensuring we have the best sound equipment, best costumes and best sets.”
Another fundraising event is their production of Arabian Date Nights on June 26 and 27.
