Die Keller or Die Kellerteater, Stellenbosch
("The Cellar" or "The Cellar Theatre")
A small experimental space built in a cellar in the H.B. Thom Theatre complex at the University of Stellenbosch It was a small and cramped 60 seater venue constructed under the rehearsal rooms and the stage of the H.B. Thom Theatre by Johann van Heerden and Emile Aucamp in the 1980s to house experimental student work unsuitable for the big stage. Hugely popular with staff, students and student audiences, and used mainly for practical examinations and the more experimental student work, such as cabarets, monologues, physical theatre productions, and so on.
Closed down for public performance after 2000 because of occasional flooding and fear for safety of audiences.
