This festive season at Artscape was a triumph, with over 60,000 patrons attending productions that captured imaginations and hearts. Behind this success was the extraordinary dedication of you, our motivated staff.
To the 20+ cast members of CATS, to the 20+ technicians managing wardrobe, wigs, lighting, sound, and stage, the seven stagehands, and the eight band members — your
artistry and precision created magic, night after night. To the Cape Town City Ballet company, whose Alice in Wonderland dazzled audiences in sold-out performances, and to the teams behind Christmas in Gugs, thank you for bringing joy and community spirit to the stages at Artscape.
And, let us not forget the contributions of our front-of-house staff, maintenance teams, security personnel, bar waitrons, and cleaning staff. Your professionalism ensured that every patron felt welcome, safe, and cared for. Together, you upheld the standard of excellence that makes Artscape a beacon of culture and a bastion of hope in this country.
Your collective effort proves that the arts are not only vital to our cultural life but also a meaningful contributor to the economy. Each role, whether seen or unseen, was essential in creating an unforgettable season.
We extend our deepest gratitude to every artist, technician, and staff member. You have shown that when we work together, the arts remain relevant, transformative, and inspiring. This is the stuff dream-teams are made of…
With sincere gratitude
