South African Jews have significantly contributed to the country's theatre scene, both in the past and present, although their presence has evolved over time. Initially, Yiddish theatre thrived with Jewish immigrants, but as they integrated into South African society, this form of theatre declined. Today, Jewish individuals remain active in various aspects of the industry, from production to performance, but their prominence within the mainstream theatre landscape has shifted, with younger generations often finding themselves outside the traditional Jewish community.
