The Color Purple and RADA have decided to continue their partnership for the show’s third season at Joburg Theatre.
For the premiere season of The Color Purple at Joburg Theatre in 2018, the show’s producers and the founder of RADA, J-P Nobrega, decided to collaborate in order to create awareness around the very issues raised in the story of The Color Purple.
The Color Purple deals with issues surrounding rape, sexual and emotional abuse, women’s rights, the disruption of the gender roles and more.
RADA (an acronym for rape, alcohol, drugs and abuse) is a non-profit company that aims to take positive, meaningful and effective action to combat life’s atrocities, many of which are addressed in the story of The Color Purple.
“We want to inspire people beyond watching a story of the human spirit. By collaborating with RADA, we aim to create further awareness of these issues and atrocities against women and hope to give people the courage to fight and overcome their own nightmares,” said Xoliswa Nduneni-Ngema, chief executive officer of Joburg City Theatres.
This mutually beneficial alliance between The Color Purple and RADA resulted in a collaboration on various outreach projects to further spread the message of hope to South Africans within the themes of the musical and according to the principals of RADA.
The Color Purple continues for its third season at Joburg Theatre from April 2 to 12 this year.
