Open Tuesday is a project started by die Boer theatre restaurant in Durbanville specifically to help young or unknown artists to reach a wider audience. South Africa has a huge amount of young talent (as well as very experienced artists) that rarely get a chance to play on a professional stage because they are labelled as “not commercial enough.
The idea is to provide a (free) platform on every second Tuesday for deserving but unknown artists to hone their skills under proper show conditions in front of an attentive audience, unlike the many festivals’ open stages where most of them have to start their careers. This is a tradition that may be new to die Boer, but has been very successful for many years around the best dinner-entertainment venues in the world like The House of Blues in New Orleans and the Jazz Café in London.
We usually schedule two “acts” on one night. The first artist does a maximum of 45 minutes and the last one, which is often a band, more or less an hour.
Most people are simply blown away by the quality of artist that is usually on display on these nights and Open Tuesday is fast becoming one of our most enjoyable “shows” The reasons are obvious:
Entrance to the public is free... you can arrive (or leave) anytime you want, you don’t have to eat (but of course you can …anytime during the show if you so wish)
WIL JY BY DIE BOER OPTREE:?
ie by die groot venues speel nie en as jy nie by die groot venues speel nie!! 
Ons wil help om die langtermyn welstand van die uitvoerende kunste in die algemeen, maar in die besonder “lewendige musiek” te bevorder. Die vreugde van musiekmaak lê daarin om saam met ander musikante te speel, of jouself te begelei. Daarom gee ons voorkeur aan kunstenaars wat sonder “backtracks” speel.
