It was a culmination of both national and global best practices in theatre design, including top-notch acoustics and state-of-the-art lighting and sound facilities. In designing this theatre, the clients wanted the community to feel connected to it, emphasising that it is essentially something built for them.
The design expresses its three performance venues. From a distance the theatre resembles various brightly coloured, curved structures varying in size. On closer inspection, it is revealed that these structures are the three different performance venues. The largest is the RED theatre, which is a seat venue with a fixed stage and seating.

The Soweto Theatre is an aggregation of both national and global best practice standards in theatre design. Various local and international theatres were studied, extracting only important aspects, to replicate in the Soweto Theatre. On closer inspection, it is revealed that the Soweto Theatre comprises three performing venues. The largest is a seat venue with a fixed stage and tiered seating. It has a full orchestra pit, a bridge for a fly tower and wings.
The other two venues comprise a seater and seater flat-floor theatre respectively. The two latter venues have added flexibility, as they are not equipped with a fixed stage or seating. Facilities include an orchestra pit, fly tower and shared backstage facilities between the three performance venues.
Outside of the theatre is a special public space - a foyer that can be used as an additional performance area, a social gathering place during intermission or just as a pause area. There is a tensile structure or canopy covering this space providing shade. The east and western sides of the theatre boxes are defined by curving fortress walls blinkers containing all other ancillary spaces.
One of the most challenging features of the theatre, and arguably the most daunting to achieve, was the curved walls. The design has incorporated curves into walls that curve both horizontally and vertically, creating a parabolic shape, which was truly an engineering challenge that resulted in an iconic building.
