The much-loved children’s book series comes to life on stage with Pumpkin Finds Her Kindness – The Play, which will run from 15 to 23 December 2023 at Artscape. Directed by Nico Scheepers, this charming forty minute production takes young audiences on a journey of self-discovery, friendship and the transformative power of kindness.
Pumpkin Finds Her Kindness – The Play features Bianca Flanders (Troukoors, District 6 The Musical), Miché van Wyk (Is Alles Oraait in die Huis van die Here, Brandmerk) and Dean Balie (Kat and the Kings, Nêrens Noordkaap, Blood Brothers). Flanders and Balie wrote the script, and also composed the original music.
The play tells the tale of little Pumpkin as she grapples with jealousy and envy after losing a competition. Determined to conquer her ‘confused and green-eyed monster’ as she calls it, Pumpkin sets off on an exhilarating adventure guided by her wise Ouma and her faithful feline friend, Toots the Cat. Through laughter, heartwarming moments, and a touch of magic, Pumpkin soon realises that her kindness lies within her and possesses the extraordinary ability to transform her surroundings.
Expect an enchanting theatrical event that will leave hearts full and smiles shining.
