What We Do

From our start in 2009 with our début production, The King and I, Drama Buzz has continued to entertain audiences with wholesome family entertainment. We envision a community where home schooled children can develop and perform in an ethical, healthy and fun environment.

General Info

One of the first things you should know about DramaBuzz, is that all of our performances are put together by volunteering parents. Although we occasionally outsource some of our prop building and costume making, the bulk of the work is done by the parents of our students. Likewise, our directors and choreographers are volunteering moms. We have put on fourteen plays in total, and each year we have seen exponential growth in the skills of our cast members. Our goal is to entertain audiences with clean, wholesome family entertainment.

Our FAQs

Do you offer drama lessons?

No, our group is centered around creating a musical production once a year as part of an educational theatrical experience. Our focus is on group work development in a Broadway like environment, rather than personal coaching.

When are rehearsals and practices?

Our regular meeting time is from 09:00 - 13:00 on a Wednesday. We do however have extra rehearsal days that will be announced in due time and with as much notice as is possible.

How old does my child have to be to join?

Our minimum age for the main production is 13 years. No exceptions will be made to this rule.

What do rehearsals entail?

We spend most of the year working on singing, dancing, blocking, and general choreography. When we get near to production, we move practices over to the Roodepoort theatre.
