Protea Stage Productions elects new committee
The committee will oversee the everyday running of the society, including show decisions, matters arising and fund-raising ideas.
The Benoni-based amateur theatre society Protea Stage Productions held its annual general meeting to elect new committee members for the year on February 24, in Morehill.
Chairman Bob Stone said 2018 was a busy and successful year for Protea, having performed two major shows, Pocahontas and Jesus Christ Superstar.
“The financial success of the society was again due to a strong committee, young new directors, the excellent response from the audiences and the support given to Protea by Tom Newby Primary School,” he said.

As part of their commitment to the youth, they made a R500 donation to a learner from Ashton International College which will be used towards the cost of her representing South Africa at the International Festival of the Arts, in Los Angeles.
