| − | In 1961 the National Theatre Organization was disbanded and replaced by four provincial performing arts councils. In Cape Town the '''Cape Performing Arts Board (CAPAB)''' was instituted in 1962 with the aim to promote the performing arts in the Cape Province and South Arica. The arts councils received sufficient government subsidies to fund various art forms as well as the operational requirements of the theatre facilities.
