Welcome to the Baxter Theatre
The home of progressive South African theatre and
performance since 1977, and the cultural gateway to the University of Cape
Town, the Baxter Theatre Centre is a vibrant, multi-cultural entertainment hub
in the Southern Suburbs of Cape Town.
Nestled under the striking Devil’s Peak mountain and at the
foot of the University of Cape Town, the Baxter boasts a world-class theatre
and concert hall, as well as a studio stage, rehearsal rooms, offices, a
restaurant and bars and an impressive, spacious foyer.
Built in 1976, the Baxter was a pillar of hope during the
apartheid era. By leveraging its strong relationship with UCT, the theatre was
able to present multi-racial, progressive work at a time when all other
non-racial interactivity was banned or censored.
The Centre is within walking distance of the vibrant student
shopping centre of Rondebosch.
Coffee shops, gyms, restaurants are easily accessible and
the railway station to take you deeper into Cape Town is only minutes away.
