Spotlight on Young Stars: The Magic of Annie - 16 June 2025

This Youth Day, we celebrate the next generation of theatre talent with the KZN Young Performers Project’s spectacular rendition of Annie, the beloved musical that first captured hearts in 1977. With a cast of 120 performers, including senior primary youngsters doubling as the orphans, this production showcases the incredible potential of South Africa's young stars. Joining us in studio are Kaitlyn Rex (Annie), Zarina Lockhat (Kate), Emily Naicker (Senior Ensemble), Aarika Singh (Junior Ensemble), and Evashnee Pillay (Choreographer). Let’s dive into the passion, hard work, and dreams fueling this generational revolution in South African theatre.
