Why do people go to the theatre?
The answer is not quite as easy or as obvious as it may seem.
Some go purely to be entertained. Some, to be provoked. Some, to be confronted with their own worst fears and prejudices. Some, to escape from the stresses and strains of the world around them.

But rarely, if ever, do people go to the theatre for the most primal and compelling reason of them all ... the natural, instinctive desire to be part of the show.
To feel the pulse of performance.
To share the energy and excitement of an hour or two in the spotlight.
To march to the rhythm ... of your very own drum.
Sound impossible? Not anymore. Because a bold, invigorating new concept in theatre is about to be unveiled ....

The World's First Interactive Theatrical Drumming Experience.
Simple. Using the tried-and-trusted principles of the "Drum Cafe's drum circle", each and every member of the audience is given a small African drum upon entering the auditorium. A drum that will echo with rhythm and life as the show gets underway.
A show that is not merely the province of a small elite of actors, dancers, and performers.
A show that grows and changes organically with every performance. A show that belongs to the audience, as much as it does to the man on stage.
When you go to a show with the Drumcafe on the stage, you don't just sit and watch; you sweat, you laugh, you cheer, you applaud, you whoop, you holler, you dance ... and most of all, you drum.
Now, the time has come to transport and translate that experience from the corporate arena to the realm of commercial theatre. With a show unlike any other: a show of exuberant, criss-crossing rhythms, a show of colliding, intersecting cultures, a show of stomping, clanging percussion, a show of heart stopping dance and movement, a show of hands.

YOUR hands. Beating on YOUR drum. Sharing YOUR personal experience, YOUR heartbeat, with every other member of the audience. Except, of course, it's not really an audience. It's part of the show. And so are you.
It's time.
Time for a new look at why we go to the theatre.
Time for a new style of entertainment, a new concept in performance.
Now, more than ever ...
It's time to beat the drum!
