South Africa now is about to meet South Africa then at Marin Theatre Company, where Athol Fugard's gripping "My Children! My Africa!" has been extended through Feb. 15. A group of recent graduates from the LEAP School in Cape Town will attend the Feb. 7 performance at the theater and participate in a preshow discussion about apartheid-era secondary school education, as depicted in the drama about a teacher's fatal efforts to bridge the state-enforced racial divide, and how apartheid's legacy continues to affect students today. Tickets for the show ($20-$51) are available at (415) 388-5208 or www.marintheatre.org.
The students' visit is sponsored by Teach with Africa, which works to alleviate educational problems in South Africa in part by sending multidisciplinary teaching teams to the country. To find out more about Teach with Africa's programs, call (415) 412-7400 or go to www.teachwithafrica.org. - Robert Hurwitt
