After more than two decades in show business, there is no stopping Tonya, as she continues to wow audiences both locally and abroad.

She started her career fresh out of drama school with Kevin Feather’s cabaret, `The Dooh Wah Girls’ in 1990, which ran on and off for four years. Other cabarets under her belt are `We 3′ with Gordon Mulholland and Paul Andrews, as well as the Cape Town hits, `Juke is King’, `Jive to the Juke’ and `Wurlitzer’.

More recently she has teamed up with fellow singer, Anne-Marie Clulow to create `All of Woman’ and `Shake Your Bootie’, both of which have performed to packed houses throughout South Africa.

Her solo cabarets include the hits, `Tonya Unwrapped’, `Makin’ Whoopee’, `Liza with a T’, and `Born To Diva’.

She has worked extensively for Sun International in Extravaganzas such as `Jump, Shout, Bop and Boogie’, and later she starred in `Skin Tight’ and `Ooh La Lah’, both devised and directed by Bryan Bester.

Pack a picnic supper and take along your liquid refreshments for a fabulous night of five-star entertainment.

Tickets at R75 per person are on sale from either the RAC or admin offices at the village. For more information phone 039 3125000.
