For our Sleepathon MySchool MyVillage MyPlanet Competition, we asked for our Snoozers to help spread the word about helping TEARS Animal Rescue by adding us as a beneficiary on their MySchool Card.

Our supporters told their friends, told their families, told their coworkers, told everyone to add TEARS to their MySchool card. Thanks to them we have over 115 new MySchool supporters who are willing to shop for us and swipe for us!

For the top in the MySchool competition, we had some amazing prizes!! A big thank you to MySchool for sponsoring WOOLWORTHS vouchers to the value of R600, to Theatre On The Bay who donated 4 tickets to their production: The Play That Goes Wrong, to Gate69 Cape Town for 4 tickets for a night of Cabaret Theatre, and to the House at Pooh Corner Guest House for a night for 2 at their bed and breakfast in Noordhoek.

We're so grateful to all of our sponsors, MySchool card holders both old and new and hardworking Snoozers who help to lift TEARS up!

Theatre, Cape Town, Joburg -festive season 2018
Review: The Play That Goes Wrong. This wacky, zany play opened at @theatreonthebay tonight - November 9- and runs until December 1. It then transfers to Joburg to Pieter Toerien’s Montecasino, from December 7 to January 6. To recap what I wrote in my review in Goodlife, Cape Times, today, November 9, it is a superb production. It’s a play within a play, with a drama group staging a murder caper and everything goes wrong. The play was devised by an UK improv company. So, it was workshopped and layered and staged and reworked and then finely tuned into a fixed script. It has resulted in a script of heightened organised chaos - a visual joy; linguistically layered - a delight to watch. Alan Committie as director keeps it flowing but it’s like he edits and doesn’t let the chaos become a mess. The actors look like they are having a jol- laughing at themselves in this ridiculously delicious play. On the two previous seasons in Cape Town and Joburg, it was sold out. Proper sold out. No tickets available. Suggest: book now. Expats coming in for hols, from the UK and USA should grab tickets. Check out the prices in Euros/pounds in London and in dollars in New York - gulp. The tickets in SA are R130-R230 in Cape Town and R100 to R240 in Joburg. R100? Yup. It’s for the bar stool seats. And by the way, the production we have is the same as the Broadway/West End production. Set made to exact specs of UK designer, Nigel Hook - English countryside wallpaper - the whole shebang. The set is almost like another character - stair cases collapse, book shelves tumble, windows deconstruct. The actors are South African and are tops- clowning, colliding, cracking up by the absurdity of it all and yet staying in character, staying with the script. The newly renovated Theatre on the Bay is looking fabulous and it’s a beaut of a play to take us into the silliness of the festive season. Bookings at Computicket or the theatres.
