No visit to Oudtshoorn will be complete without a drive to Prince Albert on the other side of
the Swartberg Mountains. Two possible routes
can be used. The most scenic one, of which
about 30km is on a dirt road, is over the famous
Swartberg Pass. Take the road to the Cango
Caves and turn left just before the caves. The
tar road makes way for a dirt road, quite accessible to normal vehicles but definitely not for
caravans, which winds its way over one of the
most beautiful passes in the country.
Alternatively the longer route via De Rust,
Meiringspoort and Klaarstroom could be used.
Many people do both routes as a circle route
which takes about a day with a decent stop in
Prince Albert.
This village at the foot of the Swartberg Mountains offers galleries, gift shops and more than
enough eateries for the hungry and the thirsty
as well as excellent accommodation.
One of the show pieces in Prince Albert is the
beautifully restored Showroom Theatre. The
Showroom Theatre is a collaboration between
local businesswoman Charon Landman and
film maker Johnny Breedt. Landman has invested in and developed many properties in
Prince Albert including the Swartberg Hotel
and Seven Arches building. Breedt is best
known for his work as a Production Designer
in the film industry, both locally and abroad. He
has worked on over sixty feature films including
“Mandela, Long Walk To Freedom” for which he
was awarded a SAFTA Award for Best Production Design.
Initially Breedt and Landman were planning to
build a new theatre in the industrial area, but
when the “Celestino’s” building, went on the
market, they jumped at the opportunity of turning the better-suited building, into a theatre. The
building has been utilized over the years, for
a variety of businesses, but at one point, was
used as a car dealership with a showroom. The
owners decided to pay homage to that fact by
naming the theatre “The Showroom”, which also
clearly has theatrical connotations.
The aim of The Showroom is to create a multicultural venue for the Community of Prince Albert and visitors alike. The venue can be used as
a theatre, cinema, gallery, seminar venue, and in
the future, a film school. The list of possibilities
for this establishment, are endless.The Showroom boasts state-of-the-art theatre and cinema
equipment, making it suitable to facilitate and attract some of the country’s top performers. The
Showroom has already hosted Nianell, Matthys
Roets, Anna Davel, Heinz Winckler, Rocco de
Villiers, Barry Hilton, Gys de Villiers, and a host
of other performers, shows and film festivals.
