{"product_id":"south-africa-gauteng-nelson-mandela-theatre","title":"Nelson Mandela Theatre","description":"\u003cp\u003eYou come to the Nelson Mandela Theatre for performances on a stage with upgraded lifts and fly bars, where productions can program movements like a Mexican wave across the platform. The theatre sits on Braamfontein Hill, with buses stopping at the entrance and secure underground parking available from five in the evening on weeknights, seven in the morning on weekends.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe stage machinery was installed in 1990 and upgraded starting in 2018, with new hardware for eighty-five percent of the equipment and software completed by 2021. The lifts and side stage wagons now move on programmed cues, though most changes happen backstage where the audience does not see them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eParking is in a garage at the corner of Simmonds and Stiemens Streets, open until three in the morning. During weekday daylight hours, spaces are limited and security staff direct cars where to go. Three bus routes stop across the road.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe theatre was built in 1962 and renovated in the late 1980s, with work that raised the roof and improved the backstage areas. It reopened in 1992 and was renamed in 2009. What you see now is a working theatre with machinery that moves on schedule, and parking that fills by curtain time.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"South Africa","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51932160721116,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0829\/8256\/8156\/files\/nelson-mandela-theatre-event-venue-braamfontein-johannesburg-south-africa-01.webp?v=1783185941","url":"https:\/\/murmurgo.com\/products\/south-africa-gauteng-nelson-mandela-theatre","provider":"Murmurgo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
