Sand du Plessis Theatre (PACOFS)
Overview & Capacity
The Sand du Plessis is Bloemfontein's professional stage - a 964-seat opera house with genuine production infrastructure: ADB Vision lighting, a Midas console, a revolving stage and the tallest fly tower in the country. For an awards ceremony, a keynote plenary or a launch that needs theatre-grade staging, it lands the way no hotel ballroom can, and it reconfigures down to 450 for smaller formats. It's a theatre, not a flat floor, so B&W designs seated/ceremony formats around it and brings catering in. For a Free State brief that wants a real stage, this is the room.
