National Children's Theatre


National Children’s Theatre is the foremost theatre organization in Gauteng, shining the bright light of educational, engaging and award-winning theatre for children and youth throughout South African cities and rural areas, to rapturous reviews from children, parents and the media.

We present live theatre year-round at our renowned 4.5-acre campus in Johannesburg, which includes two indoor theatres, one outdoor theatre, a puppet theater, music room, and classrooms for the weekend workshop academy.

NCT: Enchanting. Inspiring. Empowering.

Reaching more children through the arts


NCT is incomparable in Gauteng, and in many parts of South Africa, not only for its breadth of services and for reaching many children who otherwise would not ever see live performance.

We’ve had a vital impact on Gauteng’s children (and their families) since COVID-19 as the only theatre presenting children’s plays during this time. We’ve also welcomed more than 1000 children from home and orphanages.

The Railway Children at National Children's Theatre

Date:
Jun 18-Jul 5
Info:
BOOK HERE

A thrilling story about three children who go on a series of adventures, all connected with the railway line that runs past their house. The children's dad is wrongly imprisoned, the family falls on hard times and moves to the country near a railway, where the children run right into several thrilling adventures.

"There are several exciting plot lines, but at the core, this is a story about generosity, kindness, giving and receiving, which are all vital skills for South Africa's children, says show director Alan Swerdlow. 'It's an amazing adventure story that also has something to say about the way we live and how we relate to each other in South Africa."

The show is perfect for children aged 8-14 or 15, and for families and schools as well, with its fast action, thrill-a-minute story and engaging characters. It's not to be missed!
