Media Release

A dancing cat, a howling dog, and a vampire bunny. The perfect pet combination for any family. It is a dark and stormy night and Chester (the family cat) and Harold (the family dog) sit waiting for their owners to return home from the movies. Chester and Harold are more than just pets, they are good friends too. When the Monroes finally get home, they come bearing a surprise: they have found a bunny in the movie theatre. However, this is no ordinary rabbit … this is the extraordinary Bunnicula. When the family’s produce starts losing its juice, Chester thinks he knows what is causing the fantastic phenomenon. Bunnicula is a vampire! Or maybe Chester’s imagination is getting the better of him. Singing and dancing their way through this hilarious mystery, the furry friends find room in their hearts, and in their home, for one very unique bunny.

This unique musical Children’s theatre production is directed by DeBeer Cloete and features second-year Drama students in the South African premiere of Deborah and James Howe’s Bunnicula. The production runs from the 11th to the 14th op April at the Scaena Rehearsal Room on the UFS Campus and tickets are available through Computicket. The production is recommended for children 7 years and up and everyone young at heart.
