Website | EmailA relatively modern complex at the University of the Witwatersrand, ranging from a 410-seater, through to a 100-seater, to the "Amphitheatre" (180 Greek-and-chilly seats outside, until it was enclosed in 1992), to the "Wits Theatre" which opened in 1983. Until then Drama students had performed in "The Nunnery" - originally part of a convent - which brought theatre to life in a city where it was minimal. Today, as then, the actors are professionals as well as students, and there is lots going on. The clientele range from youngsters to long-time ex-students, and the feel is usually festive and funky as they watch works which are often newly-written South African ones. There is covered parking and a Computicket terminal. Oh, and a friendly coffee/cocktail/snack bar that runs on student days from 7.00am to whenever the last person leaves.
