The MC Showroom is known as an off-broadway style venue located in the heart of Prahran, Victoria. Committed to delivering a premium, professional, yet affordable theatre experience for artists and the general public alike, it contains two performance spaces, as well as an in-house music production suite. A creative hub that offers credibility and versatility.
Both venues are self-contained and provides great setup for touring artists and productions which look for a space to ‘plug-and-play’.
The "Showroom" is a blackbox theatre with a generous sized stage, it accommodates a comfortable capacity of 80-100. Its classy theatrical atmosphere and great acoustics make it a perfect venue for musicals, drama, cabaret, magic, music & dance.
The well-appointed backstage area allows co-existence of two to three production teams concurrently, with assignments of their own dressing room(s) and exclusive zones.
The "Clubroom" is a 30-35 seat theatrette, with a luxurious salon-lounge style atmosphere. Equipped with a basic sound and lighting system, it is a great space for stand-up comedy, intimate cabaret performances, open mic, spoken word, close-up magic, burlesque, piano bar and testing of new material.
We understand that "uncertainty" is the word of the year. To help lower the barrier to entry and share the risk of production, this year we’ve moved away from "one-size-fits-all" hiring for our main theatre. We’ve designed three distinct pathways so you can choose the financial model that best protects your budget or rewards your success.
A balanced partnership that shares the risk and rewards strong sales. Best for: Most festival runs, artists building an audience, and those seeking a sustainable middle ground.
Minimise your initial investment and share more of the outcome. **Best for: Emerging artists, experimental "work-in-progress" shows, or new scripts testing the water with lower financial pressure.
Simple, predictable pricing where you keep 100% of your Box Office. Best for: Established acts, international touring shows, or producers with high pre-sales who want total control.
