Masque Theatre
Converted from a nightclub into a small theatre by Bertie Stern and opened in 1959 for the use of professional and amateur actors. It presented performers such as Yvonne Bryceland, Alec Bell, Zoë Randall and Bill Curry long before they became household names. *** In 19** Stern left his theatre in trust to four societies - **, **, ** and **. It is now run by a committee called Mancom and offers approximately twelve productions a year
From 1982 onwards the Muizenberg Amateur Dramatic Society (MADS) also used the Masque Theatre for its productions.
