The Building Today
The District Six Homecoming Centre (HCC)
In September 2021, The Fugard Theatre closed its doors and was handed back to the District 6 Museum as a fully functioning theatre venue. The building, which was fully renovated into a functioning theatre, has relaunched as events and theatre space and is now called the HCC. In addition, it has renamed the two theatre spaces, the Avalon (formerly The Studio) and the Star (formerly the Main Theatre), after two historically significant bioscope spaces in the historic District 6 area.
Café Societi
The Foyer Bar and coffee shop is now run by Café Society and is open six days a week from 7 am – 7 pm.
