The Maas-Phillips College of Speech and Drama was a training institution founded by Rita Maas and her husband, Maurice Phillips.

The Academy trained numerous well-known actors, broadcasters, directors and designers over the years.

In 1990, Rita Maas handed over the reins to three of her senior teachers, Jeanne Rose-Innes, Penny Marek and Arij Tobias. The original College was then renamed The Cape Academy of Dramatic Art (CADA) and moved into premises at the Observatory Recreation Centre, where it still operates.
