Artscape Theatre Centre
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Artscape Theatre Centre is the main performing arts centre in Cape Town, South Africa. It was opened in 1971 and is located on reclaimed land in the Foreshore area. The complex includes an opera house, theatre and studio theatre.
The Artscape Theatre Centre was formerly known as the Nico Malan theatre complex, after the former National Party administrator of the Cape Province who initiated the project. The centre was renamed in 1999, when the Artscape company replaced the former Cape Performing Arts Board (CAPAB).
