The Lyceum, Port Elizabeth, was a wood and iron store converted into a theatre in Port Elizabeth by the Port Elizabeth Dramatic Society. Opened on 10 September 1853 with She Stoops to Conquer and Did You Ever Send Your Wife to Camberwell? It was sold in 1858.
Not to be confused with the famous Lyceum Theatre in London, which had quite an influence in South Africa in the 19th century through visiting performers attached to that venue.
