Holiday tours at the Civic Theatre

THE Johannesburg Civic Theatre is offering special backstage tours for children and parents during the school holidays. These tours - which must be booked in advance, for a minimum of four people - will give visitors a chance to see behind-the-scenes at the theatre, and will also show how some of the secrets of the stage actually happen. Regular tours cost R8 per person, although tea and cake can be arranged at the end of the tour, for an extra R12 per person. For more information, contact Justine Lipson on +27 11 403-3408, extension 125. (Rodney Weidemann)
