🌟 STAR Alumni Spotlight 🌟

We are so incredibly proud of our alumna, Rebone “Reeby” Sesing, for her outstanding work in the industry — most recently starring as Trinity Cele in the global hit Netflix series, The Polygamist! 🎭

Reeby is also an Executive Producer on The Real Housewives of Johannesburg, continuing to make her mark both in front of and behind the camera.

From Act Cape Town to Netflix — this is exactly the kind of success story we love to celebrate. Congratulations, Reeby! ✨

Hear it from an alumna! 🎭⭐️
“If you want a college that’s going to push you and make working towards your dreams a reality, Act Cape Town is that place for you. It was that place for me, in 2012. Every lesson, connection, practical and assignment meant rising up to meet a challenge. It wasn’t just about becoming an actress but rather realizing the true power of one’s purpose when choosing to be part of a grueling industry such as entertainment. Act Cape Town and the phenomenal coaches take pride in producing the best outcome, not only for a student, but as a practitioner going forward long after you’ve graduated. I am proud to be an alumni of ACT! It is a place you go to grow and hone your gifts.”

— Rebone “Reeby” Sesing, Actress – Netflix’s The Polygamist, Courting Anathi & Executive Producer – The Real Housewives of Johannesburg ✨
