NEWS>WHAT'S HAPPENING? The National Lottery Distribution Trust Fund has made a huge investment in our work over the next three years with a significant grant for which we are extremely grateful. Thank you!
At the recent Fleur Du Cap Theatre Awards (March 2010), Magnet Theatre received a special award for Innovation in Theatre. The citation reads:
"Since its establishment in 1987, Magnet theatre, under the directorship of Mark Fleishman, Jennie Reznek and Mandla Mbothwe, has not only consistently created excellent and innovative professional stage work, but also shared knowledge, creativity and expertise through collaborations with fellow actors, educational institutions and other theatre and dance companies. Their work in physical theatre has been pioneering and has influenced and inspired theatre makers, performers and audiences locally, on the African continent and abroad."
Jennie Reznek and Faniswa Yisa jointly won the Best Actress Award at the 2009 Aardklop Festival for their performances in Every Year, Everyday, I am Walking and the production was nominated for Best Foreign Production of 2009 in the Argentinian Theatre Awards.
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Yvonne Banning a great supporter of Magnet Theatre and a trustee of The Magnet Theatre Educational Trust.
