Warehouse Theatre

Windhoek


This place used to be a warehouse for the breweries but has been converted into a full-scale, state-of-the-art theatre. The industrial interior and versatility of its design makes the Warehouse ideal for staging live African and European music and theatre productions. There’s also a permanent exhibition space and an internet cafe.
