Good Will Acting is the story of four young actors who find
themselves abandoned and unemployed this December. They pick themselves
up, dust themselves off, therapise, criticise and complain, then slap
together a Christmas show in spite of the reasons they thought they
couldn’t.
In the holiday spirit, they decide to put on an Activity,
which is a lot like a Nativity, only less negative and more positive, as
Ras the rasta, ‘unloves’ anything negative. Libertina X doesn’t care what
it’s called as long as her honours in theatre making skills are shown off
in such a way that it guarantees proper theatre work soon. Tabatha is
fully alive to the process of acting - LRA, Listen, Respond, Act - , and
Marlene just wants to do anything that will help her not have to waitress.
The result is the story of the Birth told in a most unique
way, and including songs, dancing, and a set and costumes that belong to
another show.

Directed, workshopped, written and edited by Fleur du Cap
winner Megan Choritz, of TheatreSports fame, Good Will Acting is devised
in collaboration with cast members Anele Situlweni, Daneel van der Walt,
Larissa Hughes and Ntomoxolo Makhutshi, with design input from Helen
Cooper.
“This is going to be hilarious, holiday magic which I am
delighted to say has been created especially for the festive season at
Kalk Bay Theatre,” says Simon Cooper, owner of Kalk Bay Theatre. “It marks
the start of a festive season tradition for us.
“In addition, there will be a Good Will Box in the foyer,
where donations can be made to the Theatre Benevolent Fund, a wonderful
organisation that provides support to professional members from all
disciplines of the entertainment industry, who find themselves in
difficult circumstances. It is fitting given that the play is about actors
and weekly deposits will be made.”
Good Will Acting will preview on 2 and 3 December, open on
Saturday 4 December, then be performed Wednesday – Saturday until 18
December and from 20 – 23 and 27 – 31 December, when there will be a
special New Year’s Eve performance.
