Situated at the Constantia Waldorf School, tucked away in the Kindergarten building is the only permanent Puppet Theatre in South Africa. The Rainbow Puppet Theatre has been performing to the public every Saturday morning at 10h00 and 11h15 for almost 18 years. Our artistically painted theatre has a permanent team of five puppeteers complimented with full stage lighting, beautiful glove, rod and shadow puppets and even live music.  We can seat up to 60 guests! Although our shows are widely regarded as entertainment for children, adults who come into contact with it soon fall under its enchanted spell. Aside from a few other stories, our Rainbow Puppet Theatre usually performs well-known Grimm’s Fairy Tales such as ‘Snow White and Rose Red’, ‘Sleeping Beauty’ and ‘Hansel and Gretel’.  We have about 16 different stories altogether which rotates on a monthly basis.

The show for the Month of April is Saint George and the Dragon. The Duration of the show is approx 35min.Parking is ample and free and we also have tea, coffee, juices and cake on sale.

Filled with colourful characters, this stage adaptation sticks closely to the original fairytales. All three stories have wonderful lessons to be learnt: Don’t be judgmental (Ugly Duckling) – an ugly duckling can turn into a beautiful swan, don’t be greedy (Princess and the Swineherd) and don’t be foolish (The kings new clothes).
