Whale Nation and Oom Schalk Participate in Upcoming Fundraiser For AACL

By:

Whale Nation and Oom Schalk Participate in Upcoming Fundraiser For AACL ImageFresh from the National Arts Festival in Grahamstown, David Muller is riding into Port Elizabeth for a once-off performance. F Creations and The Merry Scholar are proud to be teaming up with the Animal Anti-Cruelty League in PE for an evening of storytelling and good fun - and to help raise funds for such a worthy cause.

The evening will start with some audience favourites - stories told by the loveable Oom Schalk. This famous character was created by Herman Charles Bosman and is brought to life by performer and raconteur David Muller, under the direction of Celia Musikanth of Circle Productions. After interval, Muller will switch gears into Heathecote William's Whale Nation, directed by Claire Watling. This is the epic poem Muller is performing at the NAF in Grahamstown this year.

Join us at Eddie Macs at the Victoria Park Sports Club for some excellent entertainment and to help raise funds for the AACL Port Elizabeth. All funds will be going into their Outreach account for launching dipathons and spayathons. The AACL has a rural outreach programme that goes to Alicedale, Bedford and Adelaide for an annual spayathon in each of these towns. Your support will give far-reaching help to those who cannot speak for themselves. In 2017, the AACL in PE was able to reach a total of 2789 sterilisations through their outreach programme.

Tickets for this entertaining fundraiser are R85 each. To book your seat, email hinoon@netactive.co.za or WhatsApp Hilary on 083 635 6995.

The club bar will be open for refreshments and if you want to come for dinner, the restaurant will also be serving delicious meals. Audience members are welcome to bring along a picnic hamper if they wish to have light snacks before and after the performance. Please note, no beverages can be brought into the venue.
