Brisbane Powerhouse

Brisbane Powerhouse is both a producer of contemporary performing arts and a multi-arts venue.

Nestled on the beautiful banks of Brisbane River (beside New Farm Park) the former power station has become a distinct landmark, both as a stunning industrial creation and as a hub for everything creative, including theatre, music, comedy, film, visual arts, festivals and ideas.

Brisbane Powerhouse now boasts a flexible 400 - seat end on stage theatre, an intimate 200 seat apron stage theatre, an 800 viewer open platform, two restaurants, conference and rehearsal rooms and offices.
