Die Suidoosterfees se aktiwiteite gee gestalte aan prof.

Met die oog hierop sien die organiseerders uit na opwindende produksievoorstelle wat feesgangers sal vermaak, meevoer en lank sal bybly.
Jana Hattingh, die fees se uitvoerende hoof, sê: “Dit is met vreugde en groot opgewondenheid dat ons die 21ste feesjaar tegemoet gaan. In sy bestaan het die fees gegroei tot ’n instelling wat topvermaak na Kapenaars en besoekers vanoor die hele land bring, en met gevestigde mentorskappe en ontwikkelingsprojekte reeds ’n enorme verskil gemaak het in kunstenaars se lewens en loopbane.”
