Used by various other school, university, professional and amateur companies over the years, including the local group known as Bellvillese Afrikaanse Toneelvereniging (BAT).

It also hosted theatre events, (such as festivals and competitions), including the regional trials for the annual ATKV drama competition, annual eisteddfodau and one-off events like an Afrikaanse Toneelweek ("Afrikaans theatre week") in September of 1965.
