Secrets of the Baxter takes `Dinner and a show' to a new level. If you've always wanted to stand on a theatre stage, hear rapturous applause and experience the bright lights, then this is for you. If the idea of a behind-the-scenes tour of a bustling theatre thrills you, then book Secrets of the Baxter.
In this limited-edition specialist theatre experience, guests will get a backstage pass to the Baxter Theatre Centre in Rondebosch.
Coffeebeans Routes collects guests from their hotels and welcomes them into the Baxter's lounge. Over a glass of wine, we meet the Baxter Theatre Centre's host for the night, and tour the complex and see what happens behind the scenes. See artists in preparation. Hear interesting stories that have made the Baxter what it is today. Step onto a stage and experience the sensation of being in front of a full house!
For dinner, in the recently renovated restaurant run by The Forum, enjoy a Taste of the Cape, featuring highlights of the Cape's traditional menu.
And then it's time for the show. Secrets of the Baxter will feature cutting-edge productions, focusing on original local theatre, showcasing South African stories.
After the show, how about a drink at the Play bar, and maybe a chat with the performers who regularly gather here after coming off the stage!
Thereafter, Coffeebeans Routes will escort you back to your accommodation, having drunk deeply on our stories, and having discovered the Secrets of the Baxter!
