Tanghalang Ignacio Gimenez — known as the CCP Black Box Theater — is a flexible performance space inside the Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP) Complex in Pasay City, Metro Manila, seated for up to 300 guests and built for amplified live shows. The rental runs approximately ₱180,000 per show, a block that includes ingress, setup, and rehearsal time within the CCP’s standard operating hours of 9:00 AM to 10:00 PM; performance time itself is capped at three hours, with additional hours billed as overtime. The room’s variable seating (roughly 270–320 depending on configuration) suits concerts, live band festivals, recitals, and other amplified programs that call for a true theater setting rather than a ballroom or function hall — a strong fit for planners staging a ticketed or invitation performance in Metro Manila who need professional theater infrastructure without booking a full concert hall.
