The event coincided with Heritage Month.
The two buildings used by the theatre are among some of the oldest buildings in Parktown, dating back to the early 1900s.
Deputy director of Immovable Heritage at the City, Eric Itzkin said it was a great privilege to unveil the plaque on this historical site and emphasised that heritage should not be taken for granted.
Flo Bird of the Johannesburg Heritage Foundation said, “We must care for our heritage and it’s important to understand it, where our past needs to be analysed and respected, and unless we respect our heritage, we cannot have a future.”
Dr Chesterton Smith of the Gauteng Department of Education said it was important to uphold cultural heritage and encourage local communities to take pride in it.
He said community members should protect their heritage, embrace it and remember the role it played to stabilise a community.
The two plaques were unveiled by Bird and Smith.
