The [[South African Theatre Studio]] was a bilingual English and [[Afrikaans]] drama training institution in Bloemfontein. Known as [[Suid-Afrikaanse Teater Studio]] in Afrikaans and by its acronym [[SATS]].

Founded by [[Jo Gevers]] and [[Schalk Jacobsz]] in 1967, the studio's aim was to produce plays that were not usually done, and do so in a technically and artistically responsible way. They wanted to create opportunities for those who were not in the position to commit themselves to the theatre on a full-time basis. It was also seen as a gateway to the professional stage for amateurs and students, and a means of giving drama students at the University of the Orange Free State an opportunity to work with professional theatre-makers and bridge the gap between student theatre and professional theatre.

The studio was situated at 85 Aliwal Street, Bloemfontein and the management consisted of:

Jo Gevers (Artistic Director), [[Schalk Jacobz]] and [[Jan Mellet]] (Managing directors), [[Mariechen Naudé]] (Artistic collaborator), [[Annatjie Vorster]] (advisor on costumes and make-up) and [[Adam van Niekerk]] (Décor and properties).

Some of their productions were ''[[Speelgoed van Glas]]'', ''[[Dagboek van 'n Gek]]'', ''[[Die Tier en die Tiksters]]'', ''[[Die Koning Sterf]]'' and ''[[Tango]]''.
