Khumbula is an African Adventure about a boy, Jamie, who visits his father on a South-African game farm. James (Jamie’s Dad) works as a Game Warden at a local Ranch, where constant struggles with poachers and the safety of the animals are their main concern. A camping expedition for boy scouts has Jamie all caught up in the excitement of friends and fun in the bushveld. The excitement fades however, when they are accidentally left behind in the bush. They come across a fresh impala kill and run into Game Poachers, who in turn kidnaps the boys to prevent them from calling the authorities. Jamie escapes, alone in the bush and his survival depends on the lessons his Dad taught him. James’ determination to find the boys and get them home safely might be all that stands between them and tragedy.

The Musical with music by Jerry Bock, lyrics by Sheldon Harnick, and book by Joseph Stein, set in the Pale of Settlement of Imperial Russia in or around 1905. The story centres on Tevye, the father of five daughters, and his attempts to maintain his Jewish religious and cultural traditions as outside influences encroach upon the family's lives. He must cope both with the strong-willed actions of his three older daughters, who wish to marry for love (each one's choice of a husband moves further away from the customs of their Jewish faith and heritage) and with the edict of the Tsar that evicts the Jews from their village.
