Theatre holds a special place in our hearts—it’s where DWR began, originally as a lighting company. Over the years, DWR has grown to offer full technical support, including audio solutions and LED screens like Absen panels, which have served as stunning backdrops for pantomimes and other productions at Joburg Theatre. Whether it’s providing technical support, sponsoring events, or simply covering them as news items, you’ll often find us involved in shows like The Hilton Arts Festival, KKNK or Innibos. We also invest in the future of theatre through hands-on workshops, such as lighting design and audio training courses, equipping current and aspiring theatre professionals.
