RLT Productions
RLT will also be performing at the EADS Showcase this Saturday and will have you rolling in the aisles with some of the craziest skits and sketches from their off-the-wall repertoire, including ‘Powers for Algernon’ (winner of script and acting awards at Protea Stage Productions’ recent Hang 10 Festival). And if that isn’t enough reason to crash the koeksister curtain and head on east, their acclaimed RLT Improvistas, Ryan Whittal, Nadiem Solomon, Sylvia Nikolaoy, Oriela Van Der Walt and Graham Ian Shirley will be closing the show with a mind-blowing set of insane improv fun and games along the (power)lines of ‘Whose Line is it Anyway?’.
