Theatre on the Square
Theatre on the Square is a theatre venue in Sandton, Johannesburg.
The full name of the theatre was originally based on the sponsors name at the particular time. So it has been called the Old Mutual Theatre on the Square, Auto & General Theatre on the Square, Liberty Theatre on the Square and Agfa on the Square, as the sponsors changed.
In 1996 the Theatre On The Square, run by Daphne Kuhn, relocated from Rosebank in Johannesburg to upmarket Sandton in the Northern suburbs. It is a 200-seater theatre in Nelson Mandela Square (formerly Sandton Square) in Sandton, founded in 1998.
Over 450 productions - including plays, musicals, lunch hour and children's theatre had been presented by 2012, in addition to numerous corporate events, concerts, industrial theatre and a regular youth theatre training programme in the performing arts.
