The Empire Studio is a 108-person flexible performance venue at the rear of Toowoomba’s historic Empire Theatre. It is separated from the main stage by large soundproof double doors and includes technical infrastructure for intimate theatre, recitals, rehearsals, screenings and talks. Seating can be arranged in removable tiered rows or around tables, and the doors can be opened to the larger Empire stage when separately approved. The Studio has its own technical specifications and venue hire process; its capacity of 108 is not the main theatre’s more than 1,500 seats. Ask the Empire team about access, ticketing, AV technicians and approved room configurations.
