The Cairns Performing Arts Centre Studio is a purpose-built, reconfigurable black-box performance venue at the corner of Florence and Sheridan Streets. The current CPAC hire page states up to 372 seats, with automated flooring for raked seating, standing-room or level-floor formats. The studio supports theatre-in-the-round, cabaret, music, comedy, film and children’s productions, with technical and patron services arranged through CPAC. Some other council pages use a rounded 400-seat figure; organisers should obtain the approved configuration capacity for their production. Confirm specific dates, all applicable fees, any permit requirements and what is included with the operator before booking.
