“There once was a Velveteen Rabbit, and in the beginning, he was really splendid. He was fat and bunchy, as a Rabbit should be; and for at least an hour the Boy loved him”.

Hoe speelgoed regtig-egtig word is a brand-new theatre script from the pen of Karen Combrinck based on Margery Williams’ beloved tale of the Velveteen Rabbit.  The production tells the tale of a shy toy rabbit who wants nothing more than becoming real.  One day the toy rabbit ends up on a heap of Christmas gifts.  Along with the other toys, old and new, the velveteen rabbit goes on a journey of discovery during which he realizes that it is not what you can do or what you look like that matters, but that being loved by someone else makes you real. 

DeBeer Cloete (Bunnicula, Lyle the Crocodile and A monster under the bed) directs this production that showcases the talents of the second-year drama and theatre arts students. 

The production opens on Wednesday 19 September at the Rehearsal Room at the Scaena Theatre Complex on the UFS campus. 

Tickets are available through Computicket and are priced between R20 and R25. 

Showtimes are as follow:  19 - 21 September 11:00, 21 September 18:00 and 22 September 10:00 and 12:00.

The Odeion Choir, the vocal ensemble of the Odeion Music School (University of the Free State), invites you to Choral Evensong every Sunday during term, at 16:00. The Cathedral of St Andrew & St Michael (the corner of St George's & Saltzmann St, Bloemfontein city center) hosts the choir. Choral Evensong is a traditional service, and is sung by many student choirs all over the world. In this service, you can hear some of the world's great choral music, in its intended setting. The music of many eras is represented, from Gregorian chant (circa 900AD) to 21st century settings written for the choir. Elizabethan, Victorian and Edwardian composers feature prominently in the repertoire.

Sunday, 21 August Trinity IX

The anthem at Evensong, O God, thou art my God, is by England's greatest baroque-era composer, Henry Purcell, who was organist of Westminster Abbey. Fittingly, John Blow, the man who recognised Purcell's genius and stepped aside so he could take up the Abbey post, is the composer of the introit, Let my prayer. The canticles will be sung to a rousing 1927 setting by Sir Herbert Brewer, in D major, for choir and organ. By contrast, Thomas Tallis' responses, from the turbulent years of the English Reformation, are about 450 years old. The choir is conducted by Lance Phillip, a junior lecturer at the School, and the organist is Eljee du Plooy, a leading student of Jan Beukes, who will also play Marcel Dupre's Prelude & Fugue in G minor.

The service lasts around an hour. All are welcome.
