In the heart of Pretoria, South Africa's capital city, the South African State Theatre is the greatest performing arts facility in Africa.
The South African State Theatre is the pride of South Africa thanks to its international reputation and delivery capacity. The theatre complex was designed to showcase arts of every genre and houses a complete range of industry support services under one roof.
Today, as a vital part of the national culture, The South African State Theatre, mainly a receiving house, offers a great deal more than just a complex of venues.
As a hub for the performing arts it embodies the history of its conception, the passion in its creation, the skill and talent of its performers and the delight, inspiration and excitement of its patrons.
The South African State Theatre seeks to present the very best performing arts work from the local community, the province, the country and from around the world. We seek to provide a programme in which our own produced work is of the highest standard and accessibility and complements the presented work.
We seek to provide development opportunities for emerging arts practitioners to learn and perform within the context of our programmes.
We seek to provide Audience Development programmes for new audiences to experience our work. We seek to continue to develop our unique theatre facilities, upgrading and maintaining them to support our artistic ambitions for excellence and our passion for welcoming audiences from across South Africa’s diverse population.
