'''The Knysna Playhouse''' was a small theatre started by [[Terrence Shank]] in an old movie house with a seating capacity of 200

I found partners, took a lease on an old movie house with a seating capacity of 200 and created the Knysna Playhouse. I flew several actors (Liz Curtis, for example) from the original IceHouse cast of Proof here to open along with one of South Africa’s leading actors, Marius Weyer. Later I invited Leslie and Pete Penuel (Streetcar..;Art) from Orlando to star in Dinner With Friends. Finally, my protégé, Joel Warren, came to appear in a one-man tour de force that I selected for him.

Unfortunately, as with many small town theatres, there were just not enough patrons to cover the overhead, and the Playhouse was forced to close.
