This December, the Sonwa Sakuba Institute for the Performing Arts (SSIPA) brings its Cape Town debut to Theatre Arts in Observatory with Disney’s Moana JR.
Based on the beloved Disney film and performed by an all-kids cast aged 6 to 18, Moana JR is a vibrant, family-friendly musical that celebrates courage, identity, and the spirit of adventure.
Directed and choreographed by Sonwa Sakuba, the show reflects his signature blend of African storytelling, contemporary movement, and musical theatre performance. Sakuba is the founder of SSIPA, a celebrated training institution whose productions have earned acclaim at the National Arts Festival.
This production marks a significant milestone as SSIPA expands its programmes to Cape Town and Johannesburg. The Cape Town staging also launches SSIPA’s local Kids & Teens Programme, aimed at nurturing the next generation of young performers.
Moana JR tickets are available online here.
