The audience is an essential part of live theatre. They provide instant reactions that shape how actors perform, turning a simple show into a shared, living event. Thank you for coming through to Izingqi Zovuyo Fest recently held at the Northern Cape Theatre .

See you at the next event.

Youth Month 2026: Honouring 50 Years Since 1976

This June marks 50 years since the 1976 Soweto Uprising a defining moment led by young people who carried the fight for justice with unwavering courage.

To honour their legacy, young artists from the Sol Plaatje Municipality will use their talents to remember, reflect, and inspire. Following the success of our Take a Child to the Theatre campaign on 20 March 2026, we’re inviting young audiences and their families to join us again not just as spectators, but as active contributors.

How you can support

We’re calling for donations of clothes, sanitary towels, and canned food. All contributions will go directly to vulnerable members of our community.

Youth Day Programme

Our 16 June programme speaks to the spirit of 1976 while building the South Africa we want now: unity in diversity, national reconciliation, social cohesion, and a shared identity. It’s about mass participation — professionals and young people creating together, on stage and off.

Fundraiser Performance

We’ll also present our award‑winning musical IreOlúwa, ahead of its run at the National Arts Festival, 25 June – 05 July 2026. This showcase doubles as a fundraiser to get our cast to Makhanda.
