Our Facilities

Training and productions occur in modern facilities, including three fully-equipped theatres, a sound and video studio, exceptional classrooms and technical workshops. Our theatres are equipped with the latest lighting equipment, and professional artists that perform here, e.g. at the Vrystaat Arts Festival, praise our facilities and staff as the best of its kind in the country. 

In 2019, the Wynand Mouton Theatre upgraded the stage lighting and the auditorium. In 2025, the Scaena Theatre upgraded to entirely LED lighting, establishing the theatre at the forefront of most theatres in the country with up-to-date technology.
