A Calling That Became a Movement

Playful minds, Happy hearts — 14 years of faith-driven service to Kimberley's children, now an officially founded organisation.

Who We Are

More Than a Workshop

Come and Play Holiday Workshop is a faith-oriented Theatre Performing Development Company officially founded in April 2024 in Kimberley, Northern Cape — though it has been active for 14 years. Established by Christopher Soetwater as a calling in children's ministry, the organisation integrates arts, sports and education to uplift underprivileged communities.

We believe every child — regardless of background — deserves a platform. We don't just run workshops. We build stages. We build confidence. We build futures.
