The Rosina Auditorium is a vast 1930s multi-use creative space. It comprises a large hall with polished floorboards, arched leadlight windows, a mirrored wall and barre, dramatic overhead timber beams and a raised proscenium stage. With a dedicated backstage area, it is an ideal performance space. The adjacent Yellow Room is also available for hire as a green room.
The Rosina Auditorium has served many uses in its time. While the Rosina Building was originally used to accommodate Convent residents, its Auditorium predominately functioned as an entertainment space used for performing arts and music tuition.
The space has numerous power outlets and 3-phase power available. Rosina Auditorium is heated and features a mirrored rear wall and ballet barres. Additional facilities including tables, chairs, whiteboards, heaters, and fans are available to hirers. Basic AV equipment is available to hirers.
