Business Breakfast with Marlene Le Roux, Brights and Lagoon Beach Hotel
12 December 2024
Topic: Turning Adversity into Endless Possibilities
Marlene Le Roux, CEO and the first woman of colour to lead Cape Town’s largest theatre, the iconic Artscape Theatre Centre. In a male-dominated world, Marlene has redefined leadership, transforming Artscape from its apartheid-era roots as the Nico Malan Theatre into a thriving beacon of inclusivity, creativity, and empowerment.
From battling polio as a child to achieving international acclaim, Marlene’s story is a testament to resilience, passion, and the transformative power of the arts. Through her resilience and vision, Marlene has turned adversity into endless possibilities, using the arts as a powerful platform for change and upliftment.
Only a few of the extraordinary highlights in her career include:
- Co-founder of the Women’s Achievement Network for Disability (WAND).
- Former Chairperson of the Desmond and Leah Tutu Legacy Foundation.
- Member of the Presidential Working Group on Disability.
- Recipient of numerous prestigious awards, including the Shoprite/Checkers Woman of the Year (Art Category) and the French Knighthood in the Performing Arts.
