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.

NCT's The Hobbit
Date:
Info:
BOOK HERE
Calling all fantasy enthusiasts!
When Gandalf the Wizard knocks at Bilbo’s door, bringing with him Thorin Oakenshield, eleven ragged looking dwarfs, and a contract for an adventure to recover the lost treasure of Lonely Mountain, now guarded by Smaug the dragon, Bilbo could not be less interested—at first. But Bilbo is persuaded and before he knows it, he’s off on a quest over a mountain and under hill, through caves and forests until the final resolution, not only for Bilbo but for all the Hobbits who inhabit Middle Earth. This endearing story is about personal growth: maturity, competence, and wisdom and applying one’s wits and common sense, heroism, and understanding how greed destroys the human soul.
In April 2023 award winning director Alan Swerdlow created a masterful production of The Hobbit at National Children’s Theatre. The show won the 2024 Naledi Award for best children and youth production--and is back by popular demand. Come see NCT's fantastic children’s version based on the story by English author J. R. R. Tolkien. It was published in 1937 to wide critical acclaim—it remains popular and is recognized as a classic in children’s literature. NCT's version is a suspenseful, fast-moving journey through Middle Earth by the home-loving hobbit, Bilbo Baggins. It has all of the adventure, none of the violence of the movie version.
For ages 11+
