Pieter Toerien Productions was founded by Pieter Toerien, whose first foray into the world of show business started at the tender age of 17 years old. He kickstarted his career by bringing legendary celebrities, including Marlene Dietrich, to South Africa. In the 1970s, he helped create The Intimate, Barnato and Andre Huguenet Theatres in Johannesburg.  In 1980, he bought the Alhambra in Johannesburg and transformed it into three theatres, namely the Alhambra, the Rex Garner and the Richard Haines. In 1988, Toerien purchased the derelict Alvin Cinema in Camps Bay in Cape Town. It was rebuilt as Theatre on the Bay. He also runs two further theatres at the Montecasino Entertainment Centre, with productions also being staged at other venues including the Artscape and the Teatro at Montecasino.
