South Africa’s first fringe theatre and one of its first non-racial venue for free expression. The New Space Theatre forms part of the City of Cape Town’s vibrant development programme. The original venue was founded in Bloem Street and moved to its current relocation in 1976.

"This pioneer of fringe theatre in the country has staged almost 300 productions. Now 36 years later, with the encouragement of its founding members, it has re-opened its doors to theatre goers as a welcome addition to the Cape Town theatre scene," says Fred Abrahamse the Artistic Director of New Space Theatre.

The City of Cape Town has contributed R30 000 towards the opening of this facility.
