The Open House

50 LITTLE MALOP STREET
GEELONG, VICTORIA 3220

An intimate, flexible, and highly creative contemporary hybrid venue.

This Australian first contemporary and uniquely creative collaboration space lends itself to intimate audience-performer-community experiences and allows for extraordinary versatility where the traditional boundaries defining audience and performer zones are completely dismantled and the space works as one in multiple dimensions.

When not in use for performance, the The Open House has the ability to open up and be used for a range of functions, community events, and other opportunities. Seating up to 250 patrons depending on the mode and arrangement, the space offers varied and versatile seating layouts to reflect the range of uses.

A large, motorised door connects the space to the plaza. The space is supported technically by multiple chain hoists on travelling beams and has rigging to facilitate circus style setups. The specialist stage-lighting and audio-visual systems infrastructure is compatible with the The Story House.
