Nuithonie rents its halls for conferences, company meetings, private events and stage productions, from 70 to 446 seated guests. The theater has three rentable rooms: the Salle Mummenschanz for 446, the Petite Salle for 110 and an exhibition room for 70. It stands on Rue du Centre in Villars-sur-Glâne, on the edge of Fribourg, Switzerland, and is run by the Fondation Equilibre et Nuithonie together with the Equilibre theater in the city center.
Seminars and company events
The Salle Mummenschanz suits a general assembly, a product presentation, an awards evening or a conference with speakers on stage, with 446 seats. The Petite Salle, with 110 seats, takes a smaller conference, a training session or a company show. The exhibition room, 118.5 square meters for up to 70 people, works for a workshop, a reception or a seminar session. A rental includes the room for the whole event, the dressing rooms, use of the technical installations listed in the technical sheet and a package of technical staff time: 15 technical shifts in the Salle Mummenschanz, 10 in the Petite Salle and 2 hours in the exhibition room. Front-of-house staff are included for one four-hour shift per post. Every request is made in writing, then the technical director meets the organizer to set the needs and prepare a quote. Ticketing can be added on request for a public event.
Weddings and receptions
The theater restaurant, Les Didascalies, takes private and corporate events, including weddings, company dinners, team-building days and birthdays, with parking available. It publishes a wedding brochure.

History and setting
Nuithonie is one of the two theaters run by the Fondation Equilibre et Nuithonie, which programs theater, dance and music across both houses. Its public program runs through the season, so private rentals are planned around performance dates. The sister venue Equilibre, on Place Jean-Tinguely in Fribourg, rents a 681-seat hall and a rehearsal studio for 120.
Getting there
The address is Rue du Centre 7, 1752 Villars-sur-Glâne. Nuithonie is beside the motorway exit, with a large car park nearby, and is easy to reach by public transport.
