A 497-seat theatre in the heart of Hampton Park — home to school productions, community events, concerts, dance and ceremonies.
The Rivergum Performing Arts Centre is a purpose-built, 497-seat theatre with raked seating, full air conditioning and a dedicated control room at the rear of the auditorium — so every seat gets a clear view and proper sound.
On stage you'll find a 14-metre sprung stage with a false proscenium, a full house lighting rig, digital audio and both front and cyclorama projection.
The centre is a joint facility managed by Rivergum Primary School and Hampton Park Secondary College, and is available for community hire when not in use by the schools.
A sprung stage, full-stage cyclorama washes and concert lighting — built for competition days from first heat to finals.
Full masking, a red velour house curtain, wireless microphones and a lighting rig ready for show week.
Proper front-of-house sound in a warm room that suits everything from a solo pianist to a full stage band.
497 raked seats so every family sees the stage, with projection for slides and audio that carries every name clearly.
A flexible stage for festivals, ceremonies and celebrations of every tradition, right in the heart of Hampton Park.
A four-metre cinema screen and 11,000-lumen projector sit permanently behind the house curtain, ready to go.
There is no fly system — the bars are static. Check with the Head of Technical before fixing anything to the stage surface.
The standard rig covers most events as it stands. If your production needs it changed, raise it early — rig changes must happen inside your booked time, including the time to put it back.
