Pieter Toerien’s Montecasino Theatre and Studio
About
Following the closure of the much-loved Alhambra Theatre in Doornfontein, Pieter Toerien’s Montecasino Theatre opened in November 2000 with a launch season that included the hit productions DEFENDING THE CAVEMAN, DEATH OF A SALESMAN, THE GRADUATE, STONES IN HIS POCKETS and many more!
The initial auditorium held 320 seats. The Main Theatre has hosted a plethora of hit shows over the years and launched many SA performers to stardom! Highlights include JOSEPH AND THE AMAZING TECHNICOLOR DREAMCOAT, JC SUPERSTAR, PROOF, A HANDFUL OF KEYS, SUNSET BOULEVARD, EVITA, CHESS, HAIR, LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS, CABARET, HISTORY BOYS.
In 2003, following great demand for another smaller more intimate venue, Pieter Toerien opened the 150-seater Studio Theatre, which has become a very popular home to hits such as TRAVELS WITH MY AUNT, 39 STEPS, JEEVES & WOOSTER in PERFECT NONSENSE and ANDRE THE HILARIOUS HYPNOTIST.
In August 2011 our Main Theatre underwent a major refurb and the seating capacity was increased to 400.
PLEASE NOTE: There is NO DISABLED ACCESS to the Studio Theatre.
