Munttheater agenda: upcoming events
Tonight, this week and the months ahead at this venue in Weert.
Plan your visit to Munttheater
How many seats does the Munttheater have?
The Munttheater seats 459 people: 324 in the main hall and 135 on the balcony.
Those are fixed theatre seats, not a standing capacity. The count comes from Musicalweb's theatre page, which also records the 1974 opening and the 2005 name change. The Munttheater's own rental page advertises room for groups of up to 450 in a private-hire layout, a slightly lower figure than the fixed auditorium.
For comparison, Theater aan het Vrijthof in Maastricht has 915 seats in its Papyruszaal, roughly twice the Munttheater, while De Bombardon in Nederweert holds 600. The Munttheater is a mid-sized regional house for touring theatre, cabaret and musicals.

Seat plan: stalls, balcony and choosing a seat
The house has two levels: 324 seats in the main hall (zaal) and 135 on the balcony. The seat plan also marks the balcony separately.
- Main hall
- 324 seats
- Balcony
- 135 seats
- Wheelchair spaces
- 4, in the main hall
- Lift
- Foyer and main hall, not the balcony
- Seat plan
- PDF: zaal, balcony, odd/even
The main hall is the level closest to the stage. The balcony sits higher and further back, so it gives a wider view of the whole stage rather than a close-up of the performers. Seats are allocated, so you choose a specific seat when you book.
The seat plan linked from Musicalweb labels the stalls as 'zaal' and the balcony as 'balkon', and marks a separate left-hand balcony block. Seat numbers are listed as odd and even numbers. The plan is a static PDF, not an interactive seat picker, and its row-by-row detail could not be extracted, so use it together with the seat numbers shown at booking: https://www.musicalweb.nl/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/munttheater_weer_plattegrond.pdf
If you want to be close to the action, choose the front rows of the main hall. If you prefer to see the full stage picture, especially for dance or musicals, the balcony is the better choice. The balcony is not step-free: the lift serves the foyer and main hall only, so visitors who cannot use stairs should book in the main hall.
- For a close view, book the front of the main hall.
- For the whole stage, including dance formations, choose the balcony.
- Wheelchair users book one of four spaces in the main hall; the lift does not reach the balcony.
- Open the PDF seat plan before booking to see the zaal and the separate balcony block.
Eating and drinking at the Munttheater
The Rabobank Theatercafé in the foyer serves drinks and a small borrel menu, and a theatre drink is included unless stated otherwise.
The café serves drinks in the foyer during performance visits. The theatre provides drinks and a small menu of snacks itself; dinners, walking dinners, lunches and larger receptions are arranged through one of its preferred caterers in Weert and the surrounding area.
Check your ticket or the event page: a theatre drink is included unless stated otherwise, served in the foyer during the interval or after the show. Extra drinks are paid separately.

Assistance dogs are welcome; book their place through the box office. Hearing support is free and uses your own smartphone with the theatre's Wi-Fi.

From De Munt to Munttheater: a short history
The theatre opened in 1974 as the Prinses Beatrix Cultureel Centrum 'De Munt' and became the independent Munttheater in 2005.
The first building was a flat-floor hall with a gallery, a type common in Dutch cultural centres of the seventies. It began with a small professional programme and a stage for local societies, and grew into a professional theatre by the 1990s.
A major rebuild in 1997/98 added a fly tower with mechanical rigging and gave the foyer and entrance a new look. That made larger productions with well-known names possible. In 2005 the centre became independent of the municipality and changed its name to (Stichting) Munttheater.
Today the theatre still programmes amateur companies from Weert alongside professional work, and rents its hall to businesses and organisations.
