Fugard Theatre, Theatre venue in District Six, Cape Town, South Africa

The Fugard Theatre opened in February 2010 in Cape Town's District Six, named after playwright Athol Fugard. It occupied the National Heritage-listed neo-Gothic Congregational Church Hall and two former warehouses, including the Sacks Futeran building in Caledon Street, renovated by Rennie Scurr Adendorff from September 2009. It closed in March 2021 and reopened in 2022 as the District Six Homecoming Centre.

The venue opened in 2010 and was named after South African playwright Athol Fugard to honor his contributions to theatre. Operations concluded in 2021, after which the space was repurposed for other community uses.

The theatre was named after playwright Athol Fugard, who premiered his play The Train Driver there in March 2010. Its opening night featured Mozart's The Magic Flute performed by the Isango Portobello group, singers and actors from Cape Town's townships brought together by Eric Abraham in 2006. The venue also hosted film premieres and the Open Book Festival.

The theatre stood in the Sacks Futeran building on Caledon Street, in the District Six area of central Cape Town. The building is a National Heritage listed structure, renovated from a former fabric and clothing shop together with a neo-Gothic Congregational Church hall and a second warehouse. Visitors reach it on foot from the surrounding city centre streets.

After its closure, the space was taken over by the adjacent District Six Museum and now serves as a Homecoming Centre. This new program focuses on the history and heritage of the neighborhood's displaced community.
