Studio Theatre is a platform for young and upcoming theatre practitioners where every second and last Friday of the month a platform is opened for local and provincial art artist to stage their shows. We are an organization committed to writing and producing art works that speak to the reality our community is experiencing every day. The organization is committed to distancing the youth away from street corners which aids in the reduction of crime. The organization has been working with school children in creating better self-esteem, with a vision to the upliftment of the whole community. Mzansi is also creating awareness programs on child pregnancy and the various struggles that our children face on a daily basis. The organization has started a book club focused on children’s reading skills, where we read stories for them and have discussions on the story. This helps them to understand and learn, whilst developing their listening and comprehension skills. The company also works with the youth on theatre plays that portray issues affecting our communities.
