Name: Jan Raymond

Venue Address: Iona College, 85 North Rd

Suburb: Lindum

What’s the capacity? 500

Why should punters visit you? Loads of free parking and easy access for EVERYONE, a licensed bar with not a bad seat in the house!

What’s the best thing about the venue? Soooooo comfortable in the air conditioning. Even has an orchestra pit for the musos; you don’t see that often! It’s so easy to get from Gold or Sunshine coasts... Exit 100 off the M1.

What’s the history of the venue? Opened late 1998 as major performing arts centre for Iona College and the local area, including music theatre, dance, drama and instrumental comps. Having this place has made a huge difference to what we can pull off locally... so many more fabulous shows.

What is your venue doing to help the local music scene? The local community musical theatre company Savoyards has been performing here since 1999 and we host school instrumental competitions.

What are some of the highlights?  Les Miserables, Pirates Of Penzance, The Boy From Oz and The Phantom of the Opera (QLD Community Premieres – Savoyards!).
