Auditorium

The PACC auditorium seats 466. The comfortable seating is positioned at floor level and raked to allow for uninterrupted sight lines. Seating on the floor area can be removed to allow for tables and chairs to be set up for dining, cabaret events, conferences and functions. The auditorium is equipped to cater for audience members who may be hearing impaired.

The stage is a Proscenium Arch (5000mm high x 8000mm wide). PACC is a non-fly tower venue, the rigging system is a combination of dead hung masking (a traveller main curtain, mid-stage flat black traveller, upstage flat black traveller and a white cyc). The stage is a flat sprung masonite covered floor painted flat black.

The theatre is equipped to cover professional staging needs. This includes a Meyer sound system, Strand lighting controls, 132 dimmers and Selecon lighting instruments. There are four onstage lighting bars raised and lowered by remote control chain motors, as well as two box trusses (also raised and lowered by chain motors), which provide front of house lighting.

There is a small orchestra pit which if required must have the thrust stage pieces removed. Stairs both Prompt and OPrompt provide access from the stage to the auditorium. There is an accessible lift from the stalls level to the stage located on Prompt.
