One such company taking a new approach to theatre is the Masque Board at The Masque Theatre in Muizenberg. In the spirit of keeping theatre alive, its Zoom-facilitated Bertie’s Ghostlights initiative has been hosting several events each week for about five weeks – and the online audiences are loving it. The first is to emulate live, in-the-moment theatre experiences (probably the biggest gift that being involved in theatre gives you). For example, we are deliberately at this point not recording the sessions,” says Masque board member and sometimes Masque actress Erica Schofield. Theatre quizzes, inside access to the Sister Act rehearsals, WhatsApp story snakes and much more are encompassed in the Bertie’s Ghostlights initiative.
