Die Rederykers refers to a well known Afrikaans amateur theatre group in the town of George on the Garden Route.
Contents
The company
The group was active in the late 1970s and 1980s, when they breathed life into the local cultural scene by presenting various dramas, plays and recitals in the town.
Among their productions were:
Boerneef van Boplaas, Wimpelwerk and Skemerstories, produced by Wim Vorster between 1978-1983,
The venues
One of the group's preferred venues was the Market Theatre a historic building in Market Street. Originally built in 1855 as the St. Paul's Mission Church. However, after the church moved to Conville in 1971 as a result of the Group Areas Act, the building was utilised by The Rederykers in 1979. It was then referred to as the Market Theatre and was declared a provincial heritage site in 1979.
Die Rederykers later disbanded (?) and after years of vacancy, renewed attention was given to the preservation and renovation of this historic theatre space.
