This seems to have been the name for a few instituions in Cape Town over the years.

== Before 1800 ==

==1800-1803==

This group seems to have revived (?*) after the building of the [[African Theatre]], making their appearance with lighter work, especially the melodramas of Von Kotzebue, till 1803, after which they slipped out of the theatrical spotlight, probably concentrating on musical presentations.

== 1980s-1990s ==

An organisation called the '''Theatre Club''' also funded [[Jill Fletcher]]'s 1994 book on the [[African Theatre]]*]
