DID YOU KNOW THAT THERE IS A THEATRE VIRTUALLY ON YOUR DOORSTEP?

The Milnerton Playhouse is a small intimate theatre situated behind the library complex in Pienaar Road, Milnerton.

It was built in 1989 for Milnerton Player’s Dramatic Society after ten years of lobbying the council for a home of their own. The society has contributed a lot of time, effort and money since then to equip the theatre and it is now a venue much envied by other amateur societies in the Peninsula.

In the thirteen years since the theatre opened, numerous in-house productions have been staged running the full gamut of the theatrical spectrum including dramas, comedies, thrillers, musicals and revues. Many of these have received nominations and awards at the annual Cape Times Awards for Amateur Theatre or “Theatre Without Gain”, as it has become known in am dram circles.

Many other non-theatrical societies and service clubs have benefited from taking Gala evenings for the Players productions in order to raise funds for their own organisations.

The Playhouse is also available for hire by other cultural groups and several dance shows and productions by other societies, both amateur and professional, have been seen by local audiences.

Anyone interested in becoming a member of Milnerton Players, be it with ambitions for treading the boards or becoming involved in a backstage capacity or set building, costumes, etc. is most welcome to contact us at the details above. We are always on the lookout for new talent and willing helpers and auditions are open to all and advertised in the local press.
