Both of these shows opened recently at Kalk Bay Theatre to great acclaim."It is a truly South African year," says Simon Cooper, producer at KBT Productions. "We are honoured and humbled to work with such outstanding talent to create these new productions. SAME TIME NEXT YEAR and THE SNOW GOOSE are projects which have been close to my and Helen's hearts for many years. With rehearsals in full swing for the other three, which are newer in origin, excitement levels are at equal proportions!"Videos
