Fugard Theatre, Theatre venue in District Six, Cape Town, South Africa
The Fugard Theatre occupies a converted neo-Gothic church hall and two former warehouses in the Sacks Futeran building complex of Cape Town.
The theatre opened on February 12, 2010, named after South African playwright Athol Fugard, and operated until March 2021 when it closed permanently.
The venue hosted 180 productions, including plays, musicals, operas, and film screenings, welcoming 1.5 million visitors during its decade of operation.
