We believe in the power of music and storytelling to ignite hearts, minds, and futures.
Our vision is to bring schools and learners a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to experience a world-class international musical, proudly born in Africa, that resonates with relevance, emotion, and meaning.
Through this vibrant production, we aim to inspire pride, celebrate African excellence, and spark a lifelong love for the arts. By connecting young audiences to a story that is both local and global, we hope to open doors to imagination, confidence, and creative possibility, nurturing the next generation of performers, dreamers, and theatre lovers.
We are committed to delivering a sustainable national schools tour that brings the magic of theatre directly to young audiences.
Beginning in the Western Cape at the end of 2025, we aim to reach 10 schools per region, before expanding to Gauteng, KwaZulu-Natal, Mpumalanga, Limpopo, and beyond.
Our mission is to ignite a lifelong love and appreciation for the Arts, positioning creativity, performance, and storytelling as essential parts of education and personal growth. Through this initiative, learners will not only witness the power of artistic expression but also discover their own voices, talents, and dreams.
We will also engage and collaborate with local communities wherever possible, inviting them to participate in and celebrate this shared experience. In doing so, we aim to foster connection, learning, and a deeper understanding of the vital role the Arts play in shaping confident, compassionate, and inspired young people.

Students will be transported by an exciting, deeply emotional, and thought-provoking concert experience, a special schools edition of the internationally acclaimed, born-in-Africa musical Calling Us Home.
Performed by a dynamic ensemble of professional young singers, the production features stunning costumes, atmospheric lighting, and the full energy of live performance, all brought directly into the school’s own venue, wherever possible.
Before the show, learners take part in a short, interactive discussion with the performers, introducing the key themes and messages of the musical, from identity and hope to resilience and belonging. After the performance, students are invited to engage in a lively Q&A or reflective conversation, deepening their connection to the story and its meaning.
For schools wishing to extend the experience, optional masterclasses in drama and music are available, offering learners the chance to develop their skills, confidence, and creative expression under the guidance of the show’s talented professionals.

regional plan
Our schools tour will be rolled out hub by hub, ensuring focus, quality, and meaningful impact in every community we reach.
We begin in the Western Cape at the end of 2025, before expanding to Gauteng, KwaZulu-Natal, Limpopo, and Mpumalanga.
Each regional hub will include 10 schools — 5 private (fee-paying) and 5 government (sponsored) — creating a balanced and inclusive reach across diverse communities.
Where demand is high, additional hubs may be established within a province to accommodate more schools and learners.
The touring team will complete one region before moving on to the next, ensuring each area receives the full benefit of this unique artistic and educational experience.
