Canberra Theatre Centre is one of the Australian capital's key performing arts venues, positioned in Civic Square. The complex brings together performance spaces of different sizes: the main Canberra Theatre seats 1,239, The Playhouse accommodates 614, while the more intimate Courtyard Studio is designed for smaller-scale productions. The main auditorium is a proscenium theatre with raked seating, while the multi-level Playhouse creates a closer relationship between the audience and the stage.
Inside, the emphasis is on clear sightlines and technical facilities suitable for drama, musicals, dance, comedy, concerts and other live performance formats. Modern lighting and audio systems support a wide range of productions, while shared foyer areas between the principal auditoriums make it easy to move around before a show and during intervals. The Link Bar serves drinks and light refreshments before performances and during breaks.
