Extravaganza show to
make Sandton live
SUNDAY 24th AUGUST at
3pm and 6.30pm
The South African
Guide-Dogs Association for the Blind will be hosting their Gala Variety Concert
at the Auto & General Theatre on the Square on Sunday 24 August.
The sought-after annual event has drawn together many of the finest entertainers for a music and comedy extravaganza. The star-studded line-up will be truly historic, with more leading performers this year on one stage, than ever before. There will be two shows only at 15h00 and 18h30.
The stars of the show have kindly given of their time and talents free of charge, and entire proceeds of ticket sales will benefit S.A. Guide-Dogs for the Blind. To add to the generous spirit, Daphne Kuhn is proud to host the event at the Auto & General Theatre on the Square, with their amenities, staff and services also provided pro bono.
Producing the sensational concerts will be Chet Diepraam, joined by Claire Pacariz. “Using the same winning concepts of the Leading Ladies and Leading Men extravaganzas at the same theatre, we will treat Joburg audiences to the most remarkable line-up of entertainment variety never before seen on local stages,” adds Chet. “The finest available, some established and some new, performing their signature, show-stopper numbers, for one day only! It’s to be a concert that the discerning Jo’burg public dare not miss!"
