The Full Auditorium Space

When the space is configured as a full theatre it has 308 fully upholstered seats.

The Half Auditorium Space

It can also be configured as a 100-seat theatre since there is a folding acoustic wall across the middle. 5 rows of seats are movable and therefore can be placed in front of that wall. Those 5 rows of seats are divided into 3 sections and can be placed in any way on the floor.

Since all the seats are retractable the space can have any configuration that any director desires, whether it is thrust stage, room for an orchestra in a kind of pit, theatre in the round etc

MISSION STATEMENT
The aim of Iontas is to provide, promote and foster the vision and the space for initiative and innovation in personal and community development. This happens through all kinds of educational, creative and artistic endeavours. 

Íontas offers the space to host a whole range of courses which benefit the individual both personally and socially, to ensure that no person need feel excluded and marginalized by society – every single person who steps through the door of this Íontas is made to feel important and special and everyone who works in this building strives to ensure that we have something to offer everyone.
