Kalk Bay Theatre is a small, intimate 78 seat venue, located in what used to be the Kalk Bay Church. It was built in 1876 and is preserved as a heritage building. The church has since been converted into the unique theatre space and includes a restaurant on the upper floor. This is a particularly attractive site for tourists who are seeking quality entertainment and a desire to taste some of Cape Town fine dinning.
The upper floor restaurant is small an intimate, offering the feeling of warmth and homemade cooking. Wooden tables and chairs contribute to this feel and diners are able to look down onto the stage below them. There are many vegetarian options to serve all tastes and interests. The kitchen offers a choice of pre-established three course dinners as well as the option of choosing directly from the menu. The three-course meal is more of an event than a single dining experience. The appetizer and main entrée are served before the evening’s show downstairs, while coffee and desserts are offered after the performance.
The 78 seat theatre below the restaurant continues the established intimate setting. It is a thrust stage with the audience seated on three sides. The productions are usually chosen from the mainstream popular cannon and run for eight weeks. The stage also hosts a popular program called Theatre Sports. This is South Africa’s longest running improvisational theatre show, as well as its most favorite. The play’s the thing, but it’s not the only thing offered at the Kalk Bay Theatre. Another popular entertainment is an alternative music program that takes place on certain Sunday evenings. The restaurant and theatre are happy to accommodate special circumstances such as out of town tourist groups to Cape Town and celebration of special events.
