About the Masque Theatre
The Masque is an iconic cornerstone of Cape Town’s cultural landscape, celebrating over six decades of fostering creativity, inclusivity and community spirit. It was founded by Bertie Stern. Home to many amateur theatre societies over the years, The Masque is a vibrant and resilient community-driven venue, encouraging voluntary participation in all forms of theatre by all people.
In addition to presenting high-quality amateur productions, its programmes promote skills development and artistic engagement with the community as well as being a professional venue-for-hire.
Projects hosted by The Masque include a Youth Theatre Club for 8–16-year-olds; a range of theatre workshops; a playreading series; and a festival that provides the chance for writers to have their new scripts brought to life.
“We need to take The Masque into the next exciting 65 years, continuing our commitment to engaging, entertaining, educating and empowering our community,” says Daniel Enticott, Chairperson of The Masque. “As a social and creative hub, we want to be the destination of choice for community theatre, from front-of-house, behind the scenes or on stage.”
