Wellington Onderwyskollege Toneelgeselskap
("Wellington Teacher’s Training College Theatre Company”)
Founded by Louis du Preez in 1988 as an adjunct to the training of teachers going into schools and having to do school plays and performances. Functioning under the auspices of the Music Department, largely using music students and staff and doing musical style work. (e.g. Joseph and his Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat directed by David Matheson, Nikodemus by Frieda de Villiers, and in 2000, Oorlogallegaartjie (“war mixed grill”, in commemoration of the Anglo-Boer war). The plays often go on tour and play at festivals.
Onderwyskollege Boland Toneelgeselskap (OBT)
(“Teacher’s Training College Boland Theatre Company”)
The Wellington Onderwyskollege Toneelgeselskap ("Wellington Teacher’s Training College Theatre Company”) changed its name to the Onderwyskollege Boland Toneelgeselskap (OBT) when the college amalgamated with the teachers training colleges of Oudtshoorn, Paarl, Wellington and Athlone.
Kaapse Technikon Wellington Kampus Toneelgeselskap
In 2001 the Boland Onderwyskollege became part of the Cape Technikon, and the name of the Onderwyskollege Boland Toneelgeselskap changed again, to become the Kaapse Technikon Wellington Kampus Toneelgeselskap (“Cape Technikon Wellington Campus Theatre Company). It continued its work to serve as an adjunct to the training of teachers going into schools and having to do school plays and performances, but also focussing on those who need to teach “Arts and Culture” under the new (2005) schools curriculum.
