Jungle Theatre Company (JTC) was established as an NPO in 2004 aiming to inspire and empower disadvantaged children & youth to make positive changes in their lives and build a peaceful and vibrant South Africa.

JTC’s professional artistic team draws on South Africa’s diverse cultural heritage and indigenous languages to find connections to the environment and human nature, creating and performing original African children’s theatre shows that bring together music, dance, masks, puppets, clowning and storytelling.

These performances raise awareness, inspire learning and motivate children and youth to participate in workshops and performing arts training resulting in; developing life skills; building self-confidence and creating opportunities.

We partner with educational, social, environmental, health and arts organizations to offer our work to diverse communities in South Africa and beyond.

We bring this work to underprivileged communities with financial support from government, private trusts, foundations and individuals.
