WHAT WE LOOK FOR
PROGRAMMING
PIP Theatre is a purpose-driven performance venue in Brisbane, designed to support independent artists, community groups, and professional productions. With a strong focus on creativity and social impact, our venue offers a flexible and accessible space for a wide range of performances and events.
Our theatre features a 100-seat main performance space with modular staging, professional lighting and sound, and a proscenium arch curtain, providing an intimate yet dynamic setting for live performance. We also have a 50-seat studio space on Level 1, ideal for rehearsals, workshops, and smaller productions.
Venue Hire
PIP Theatre provides venue hire for productions, rehearsals, workshops, and events. We offer standard hire rates (daily, hourly, or weekly) tailored to different usage needs. This model is suited for shorter runs of less than 2 weeks, one-off shows, or situations where a set hire fee is preferable to a box office split. For productions or ticketed events, producers keep 100% of the net box office earnings under this arrangement.
Please email info@piptheatre.org for hire details.
Co-Productions
Co-productions are programmed as part of PIP Theatre’s curated season. A co-production means sharing resources, expertise, and some level of financial risk and reward. Rather than a standard venue hire model, co-productions operate on a net box office split agreement. Applications for co-productions open at the beginning of each year for the following year and are assessed according to our programming criteria. Co-productions are ideal for a run of 2-3 weeks.
PIP Productions
PIP Productions are produced and funded by PIP Theatre, showcasing stories that align with our mission to inspire social change through performance. These productions are programmed internally, with opportunities opening for creatives and crew to be involved.
