Joburg Theatre Complex - Braamfontein, Johannesburg

The Joburg Theatre Complex is one of South Africa’s premier performance venues, located in Braamfontein, Johannesburg. Originally established as the Civic Theatre in 1962, it has evolved into a vibrant cultural hub that celebrates local and international productions. The complex boasts three primary theaters, each designed to cater to a diverse range of performances.

The Joburg Theatre, formerly known as the Civic Theatre, was established during Johannesburg's apartheid era. Despite its contentious beginnings, it became a center for artistic expression and transformation post-1994, reflecting South Africa’s cultural diversity. Renamed the Joburg Theatre in 2001, the complex has expanded its vision to become an inclusive platform for arts, entertainment, and education.

There are 3 theatres within the complex:

The Mandela Theatre:
This 1,069-seat venue is the flagship stage of the complex, hosting grand-scale productions, including musicals, ballets, operas, and drama.
It is named in honor of Nelson Mandela and is equipped with state-of-the-art technology to support world-class performances.

The Fringe:
A 251-seat venue tailored for smaller-scale productions, experimental works, and intimate performances.
This theatre provides a platform for emerging talent and avant-garde artistic expression.

The Peoples Theatre:
Dedicated to children’s theatre, it offers productions that entertain and educate younger audiences, fostering a love for the arts from an early age.
The Peoples Theatre has become a staple for school groups and families alike.

The Joburg Theatre Complex also features rehearsal spaces, a stylish café, a bar, and versatile event venues. Its location in Braamfontein makes it an integral part of Johannesburg’s cultural corridor.
