The Amateur Company is one of a number of names given to the theatre company of the Cape Town garrison after 1823 - as opposed to the civilian amateurs who were called the English Theatricals. Also referred to as the Garrison Players or Garrison Amateur Company. The two apparently competed heavily with one another for audiences, also for use of the African Theatre.
