Featuring a state-of-the-art concert sound-system, the theater can accommodate a variety of music presentations from small acoustic ensembles to fully amplified 10+ piece bands. The Ibrahim Theater is also ideal for film and video screenings, with the capability to project 16mm and 35mm film as well as most video formats including DCP, Blu-ray, DVD, DigiBeta, BetaSP, MiniDV, and VHS video formats. Additional devices can be incorporated into our system. Our lighting system is equipped with a digital lighting board, and there is also access from the stage, which is perfect for PowerPoint lectures and other visual presentations. The retractable stadium-style seating also allows flexibility for large social events, dinners, galas, dances, and wedding receptions. With a knowledgeable staff ready to assist you, we can provide a complete package for any event.

When designing the program for Entrepreneur Works Presents Debbie Allen, I knew that International House Philadelphia was the perfect venue. Having attended many filmmaker and community events there, I had experienced the comfort, technical capabilities, and culture of IHP. Working with the staff on our event was an absolute breeze.

They anticipated our needs, communicated often, clearly, and effectively, and provided excellent customer service! IHP is, and will continue to be, the preferred live event venue for Teaspoon & Pound Media.
