Auditions for the UJ Arts Academy and UJ productions take place at the same time. Students may be selected for either a production, or acting classes – not both. Classes and rehearsals are presented weekly.
The Prodigal Man Returns is a Musical Theatre Revue showcase that celebrates Lungile Michael Themba’s journey as a Producer, Composer, and Writer. The show features music from some of Broadway’s most prolific composers such as Stephen Sondheim, Jason Robert Brown and Henry Krieger. Furthermore, the line up includes music originally composed for the theatre by Lungile – who is joined on stage by 9 friends/soloists. The show sold out and was a major success at Joburg Theatre in June 2019.
For your audition: Come prepared with a song of your choosing and comfortable clothes for moving.
