Just as the Catalina aircraft, after which the Catalina Theatre at Wilson’s Wharf has been named, is an intrinsic part of Durban (and South Africa’s) history so too are the productions which take to its stage.
Created to be the voice of Durban’s playwrights, poets and musicians, TheatreBIZ is constantly on the search for new works – and this is what makes Catalina unique! Not to mention the setting, which is probably the most beautiful in the city with its panoramic views of the harbour.
Whether it is comedy or drama, musical theatre or poetry you are promised a theatrical journey of a lifetime. So let your imagination take flight each and every time you visit the Catalina. Take a mental note of all who showcase their productions for this is a stepping stone into the annals of Durban’s theatrical history
At Catalina there is a seat in our house to suit every artistic taste and personality. Our bar staff are funky, the drinks are cold and the harbour view is breath taking.
Our shows are advertised mainly with posters on the street poles throughout Durban and in the local press.
