ABOUT

The Waterfront Theatre School is proud to present Our House – the Musical. This award-winning musical features a large ensemble cast under the direction of Garth Tavares, choreography by Nicolette Fernandes and featuring costumes by WTS Founder and Managing Director, the legendary Delia Sainsbury.


The prestigious Waterfront Theatre School is well known for its annual Musical Showcase and Our House will once again bring the incredible versatility of this multidisciplinary performing arts centre to the fore.


Set to the well-known, foot-tapping musical genius of the 80s band, MadnessOur House is a coming-of-age story with a twist.


On the night of his 16th birthday, Joe Casey takes the girl of his dreams, Sarah, out on their first date. To impress her with bravado, Joe breaks into a building site overlooking his home in Camden on Casey Street. When the police turn up, a split-second decision forces him to choose between himself and his heart as the story splits in two. Alternate paths unfold before him: the consequences of a choice that will change his life forever. 


College director, Delia Sainsbury, has pointed out the significance of the "Sliding Doors"- like plot: "COVID-19 rewrote everyone's lives in remarkable ways that one couldn't even begin to imagine. What more apt way to celebrate a return to the musical theatre stage in a work that explores life-changing decisions and events that could lead a person on an entirely different path. We cannot wait for audiences to celebrate the 'madness' of Our House, and we hope that this is the beginning of a new era in theatre-making and a rebirth for the arts in South Africa."
