NICO Malan High School\u2019s new play, <\/span>Ons Tyd is Nou<\/i>, will take to the stage at the school on Monday, July 22.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Written and directed by Marjorie Arnold and musically directed by Jannie Venter for the ATKV-tienertoneel, the play is an energe-tic mix of big laughs, catchy one-liners, musical numbers and serious moments that highlight social and peer pressure in high school. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The choreograph, done by Carrie Nissiotis, makes the play a successful mix between musical and cabaret \u2013 especially present in the phy-sical theatre of Jane Venter and Kayla Oliver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Teenage girls rule the detention class and stage in this bittersweet comedy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n Ons Tyd is Nou<\/i> is a slice of life in a South African high school of fifteen teenage girls. The actresses glow in their performances: Mikhayla Hendricks as the bossy cheerleader, Chelsea Biko breathes life into the cha-racter of the feisty Hockey captain with Imke Rischmuller responsible for many of the belly laughs as the chipper art weirdo with a big heart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fearsome ballerina is portrayed by Elandri Venter, who is the lead vocalist on a showstopper of a rendition of Roxanne with Zipho Tshunungwa. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Notably Helena Gildenhuys reminds you of your favourite sarcastic friend from school; Emma Gutsche plays the part of the confident friend flanked by Anami Ngqandu, the girly-girl with the undeserved reputation, and the lovable nerds with cutting one-liners played by Marina Butoi, Megan de Klerk, Sino Cunge and VickyAugustus. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The performances throughout are strong and as tensions rise in the detention class, so does the actresses\u2019 performance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n Ons Tyd is Nou<\/i> will take to the stage at Nico Malan High School in Humansdorp at 19:00 on July 22.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tickets cost R30 per person and are available at the door or from Nico Malan Drama. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cast members will take the play to the Opera House in Port Elizabeth at 16:00 on Tuesday, July 23.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Admission is free.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
