Link Street, Camps Bay, Cape Town, 8005, South Africa

Theatre on the Bay, established in 1988 by Pieter Toerien in a refurbished cinema, blends modern style with beachside charm at 1 Link Street, Camps Bay. Perched between the Atlantic and Twelve Apostles, its post‑modern façade with sculptured curtain greets visitors with a sense of occasion. Inside, the intimate auditorium seats around 260, fostering close audience-performer connections—ideal for drama, comedy, musicals, dance and cabaret produced locally and abroad.

State-of-the-art lighting and sound reveal a fully equipped stage, balconies, and hospitality spaces such as Dietrich’s Bar and the Act One restaurant/bistro. Its foyer invites pre-show mingling with coffee or cocktails and post-show conversations.

Expect a diverse program: acclaimed productions like Love, Loss and What I Wore, musicals (Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat), stand-up comedy, dance showcases, and cabaret—catering to all tastes and ages.

  • Culinary & drinks options: Pre-show bar and post-show bistro ensure a full evening out.
