A privately owned Cape theatre production company, founded by Chris Lodewyk and Walter James Samuels in Cape Town in 2015, with offices at 67 Hugo Street, Goodwood, 7460.
From the company website[1] we have the following outline of their intentions:
The new NTO was established in 2015, will once again bring Afrikaans theatre to South Africa's cities and towns - especially to those places that have not enjoyed quality, live entertainment for years. The focus will be on AFRIKAANS THEATRE as we believe that theatre can and should play a huge role in the promotion and preservation of our language.
During 2017, a decision was made to also present musical productions in English in order to attract a wider audience to performances. During 2023, five such productions will be staged.
