Geelong Performing Arts Centre is a hub for live entertainment in the region, attracting some of the best performers from throughout Australia and overseas.

Located in the heart of the city's cultural precinct, GPAC includes two theatres - the recently refurbished 800-seat Playhouse, and the more intimate 325-seat Drama Theatre - as well as a cafe, bar, foyer area, meeting rooms and rehearsal studios.

The centre also manages the 2000-seat Costa Hall, located at Deakin University's Waterfront Campus, which is used for large-scale concerts, lectures and conferences.

GPAC presents a range of performances through its Family Magic, Musical Mornings and Theatre Season programs, as well film festivals, touring productions, concerts, local theatre and school productions, so there's always something on at GPAC.

Visitors to the region will appreciate the venue's central location and proximity to restaurants and accommodation.

Since opening in 1981, GPAC has undergone several facelifts, most recently the $3 million refurbishment of the Playhouse to create a modern, technically superior and accessible theatre.
