Located in the heart of Wollongong’s Arts Precinct, Illawarra Performing Arts Centre (IPAC) is the region’s most loved and respected venue for the performing arts. Comprising three versatile spaces, it plays host to a variety of events, from internationally renowned theatre, music and comedy to a wide range of community events.
In the classic tradition of the proscenium arch lyric theatre, the IMB Theatre’s steeply raked auditorium ensures every seat is the best in the house. With excellent sight lines, the audience is immersed in the action on stage. Fully equipped with a fly tower, orchestra pit, thrust stage, T-switch hearing loop, captioning facilities and a modern PA, the IMB Theatre is the complete professional performance facility.

The theatre is also equipped with a T-switch hearing loop, a versatile lighting rig, PA and optional cabaret seating. The venue is perfect for minimalist to full scale theatre productions, cabaret, comedy, intimate musical and dance productions, conferences and community events.
