Our Venue
RLT Productions presents most of its full-length
shows at the prestigious Pro Musica Theatre [link] in Florida Park,
Roodepoort, just outside Johannesburg, Southern Africa’s commercial
hub and largest city.
Set in several acres of tranquil suburban parkland adjacent to
the Roodepoort Civic Centre, Pro Musica is a fully equipped, professionally
staffed 320-seat theatre. Renowned for its comfortable, spacious
seating and excellent acoustics, the theatre also boasts fully serviced
refreshment counters, the cosy Nederberg bar, wheelchair-friendly
facilities and secure, guarded parking.
The theatre stages almost all forms of the performing arts, from
opera, symphony concerts, classical recitals, ballet, modern dance
and musical revues to, of course, drama. It makes use of the highly
sophisticated on-line booking service, Computicket, [link: www.computicket.com]
enabling our patrons to effortlessly book tickets from the comfort
of home.
Our team
A committee of eight dedicated part-time theatre practitioners administers
RLT Productions. Collectively, the committee has some one hundred
years of experience exercising the various skills and aptitudes
that are required for running a first-rate theatre company.
In addition, they draw upon the services of the group’s many
talented members, whatever their forte, from set-building, programme
and poster design and ticket selling to writing, directing, and,
of course, acting.
