Originally founded in 1940s, it used the Little Theatre on the Hidding Campus for most of its productions. All students - not simply Drama students - were able to participate in the productions. One such member was Roy Sargeant, who went on to become a prolific theatre director and, as Head of English Drama at the SABC, TV producer.

1944: The House in Fern Road, Meet Mrs Beeton, The Twelve-Pound Look,
1956: Spring 1600 (directed by Leonard Schach)
1963: Krapp's Last Tape (directed by Edwin Polakow)
