Our mission, to cultivate community through accessible arts experiences for all, guides our programming in the ZACC Show Room. For events that fall within our mission, the ZACC has specific models for pricing and profit share that we use to ensure that both the artist and the ZACC will benefit fully from our partnership. For events that fall outside of our mission, we are thrilled that you’re interested in hosting your event in our space, and we have pricing competitive with other venues in the Missoula area. If you are interested in renting the Show Room for a private event, or public event outside of our mission, please visit Rent a Space > The Show Room.
The ZACC Show Room is located in the heart of downtown Missoula in the beautiful, historic Studebaker Building, and can house a maximum of 150 seated and 350 standing. Adjacent to the Show Room is the Blackfoot Gallery & Lounge, which can be booked in addition to the theatre for events requiring extra, separate space.
The name of our event center harkens back to the building's original use as an automobile garage and showroom. The Studebaker Building is listed on the National Historic Registry, and served a growing automobile industry from the 1920s through the 1950s, when its owner Louis Nybo sold and repaired Studebakers here — the then vehicle of choice for Missoula's police force.
SHOW ROOM AMENITIES
The ZACC Show Room boasts 150 chairs, 20 banquet tables, 10 cocktail tables (which adjust in height), an adjustable theatre lighting system, sound equipment, backdrop and blackout curtains, a removable stage, and a backstage area with access to our kitchen and upstairs bathrooms.
The Ladies Who Lead: A Parody Cabaret
Presented by the ZACC & MissCast Productions // Live in the ZACC Show Room // Saturday // June 12 // 7:30 PM (Doors open at 7 PM) // $50 per table (tables seat up to 5 people)
The ZACC & MissCast Productions are excited to present The Ladies Who Lead: A Parody Cabaret. As one of our first in-person shows post pandemic, The Ladies Who Lead will be performed before a live audience of up to 60 people (in a room designed to seat 175). Masks are encouraged when not seated or consuming beverages.
Written & directed by Jasmine Sherman and Maisie Gospodarek, this comedic cabaret is a musical potpourri of all the diva-driven, musical theater show-stoppers that you know and love. Well... with a bit of a twist! Silly, feminist, and fun, The Ladies Who Lead will have you laughing from start to finish.
