A ‘Crystal’ performance for Youth Day
DURBAN welcomes back one of the city’s favourite musical theatre performers, Crystal Tryon-Singh.
CRYSTAL Tryon-Singh will appear in two very different vehicles at The Catalina Theatre at Wilsons’s Wharf – ‘Heel Hair Rious’, a fun production which puts the spotlight on the endless men and woman issues around hair and heels, at 8pm on Monday, June 15; and an inspiring Youth Day event at 2pm on Tuesday, June 16.
Crystal Tryon-Singh returns home after spending the past few years in Cape Town. She will be remembered for her roles in ‘Blues Brothers’, ‘Mercury Rising’ and ‘A Coloured Place’, which won numerous awards. In her new production, ‘Heel Hair Rious’, she introduces us to a range of fun new characters: ‘Diva Divine’ from the All Nations Hair Salon; ‘Lady Favour’, the Jazz songbird; and the late night live talk show presenter, ‘Root D’, among others.
This is the first showing of ‘Heel Hair Rious’ to Durban audiences after enjoying rave reviews in the Western Cape. There will be one performance only on Monday, 15 June at 8pm at The Catalina Theatre.
Crystal stays on in the harbour-view theatre over Youth Day with an afternoon programme to empower young people, entitled ‘I Make a Difference’. The event forms part of the CAI (Christian Arts Initiative) Outreach and takes place from 2pm until 4pm.
“We have young achievers of the KZN programme who are a part of the exciting commemoration with song, dance, drama and poetry works on stage to provide young people with positive, relevant, accessible role models,” explained Tryon-Singh.
Booking is through Computicket outlets at Shoprite Checkers, by phone on 0861 915 8000 or online at www.computicket.com. Tickets will also be sold at the door. The Catalina’s number is 031 837 5999.
