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.

Get ready to dive into a world of nursery rhymes and fun as NCT brings you a new production: “Rhymes and Rhythms: From Mother Goose to Dr Seuss”. This musical spectacle is perfect for young theatre lovers aged three to seven (and their families) (and their classes) as this enchanting production brings nursery rhymes with a modern twist.

Nursery rhymes aren’t just about fun and games, they help grow young minds. Did you know, if children know eight nursery rhymes by the time they are four years old, they can become the best readers in their class by the age of eight. But that’s not all. Rhymes boost language development, social skills, memory, and much more. So come sing along to the stories we all know and love.
