The annual Baxter Zabalaza Theatre Festival, with the theme Make Your Mark, is taking place until Saturday March 22 at the Baxter theatre.
The festival is celebrating its 15th anniversary. Numerous productions and artists have had the opportunity to share, develop and further present their work as a result of participating in this festival over the years, while audience members have had the chance to experience theatre for the first time.
The team has adopted a new approach to commemorate the occasion and to shift the festival into the next 15 years and beyond.
This is the first time The Baxter has curated the festival, commissioning 15 productions in honour of the celebration and partnering with respected theatre makers as mentors to the artists.
This includes captivating performances that engage and entertain, with drama, children’s shows, comedy and poetry.
