One of the names given to the garrison amateur theatre group in Cape Town after 1823 (also known as the Garrison Players or Amateur Company), and used to differentiate them from the civilian amateurs who were called the English Theatricals. The two apparently competed heavily with one another for audiences, also for use of the African Theatre. The Garrison Players also used a theatre in the barracks, known as the Garrison Theatre, or the Barracks Theatre.
