On 1 August 1985, the stunning Sand Du Plessis Theatre
Complex opened its doors to the public. Implicit in the brief given to
the architects, was the express instruction to imbue the complex with
certain definite qualities: warmth, stateliness and serenity.
The auditorium is unique in South African theatre architectural design and has no distinct balcony, but is divided into four staggered seating areas, giving its occupants a sense of intimate surroundings. The auditorium has 964 seats.
impressive, astounding, astonishing, and those are just a few words that come to mind when looking at this state of the art theatre in Bloemfontein. The theatre seating layout is Continental, meaning that there is no centre isle and replacing the conventional balcony are four staggered seating areas for events such as symphonies, musicals, music revues, rock, cabarets, dance/music extravaganzas, ballets, dramas, pantomimes and fashion shows.

To ensure that every performance is spectacular, the theatre has been
equipped with state of the art stage equipment, lighting, sound and an
11 storey tower above the stage, which rates as one of the highest in
the world, for incredible scene changes and flown scenery. Apart from 26
change rooms for up to 78 artists, there are an additional three 6 star
suites for VIP artists, as well as two saunas, a large make-up room, a
hairdressing salon, and a wig room.
With facilities like these for patrons and artists alike, you can be assured of performances which will be treasured for many years to come.
