Now in its 11th year as the operating company, “the Civic” - which morphed into the more street-wise and accessible Joburg Theatre in 2009 - has become one of the acknowledged success stories of Joburg City’s corporatisation policy.

Still under the leadership of Bernard Jay, the complex’ largest auditorium, re-named The Nelson Mandela Theatre, regularly sees over 75% of capacity audiences and remains open a minimum of fifty weeks in each year.

Joburg Theatre is also permanent home to The South African Ballet Theatre, Jill Girard and Keith Smith’s Peoples Theatre Company - performing throughout the year to children between the ages of 3 and 15 - and one of the country’s most respected community development projects in the arts, the tiny ‘black-box’ theatre known as space.com. Joburg Theatre has eight hospitality venues available for exclusive hire.

They range from ten-seat dining rooms to 200-capacity cocktail lounges – each one offering a different choice for your entertaining.

Janice Honeyman never disappoints! The Pinnochio Pantomime delivers all the glitter, giggles, and good-hearted chaos that audiences expect, with a wooden boy at its heart who proves that real magic comes from being true to yourself. Visually, the show is a treat with amazing sets, outrageous costumes and hilariously funny Cat and Fox! A warm-hearted, laugh-out-loud evening perfect for families.
