Theater & Cinema in New Zealand

“My family and I went to go see the footloose play, it was fantastic!”

“Interesting place, clean and tidy and venue was cool for the show we saw”

“Great place to hire for a event, bar available with bar manager, safety officer on site. Full use of facilities, note not wheelchair friendly great seating for 81 people with stage, lighting if required, no need for a mic, small kitchen available.”

“Fabulous wholesome entertainment, allowing kids to have a go! Love it!”

“My mom and I were in Auckland for a few days and wanted to go see a play and we ended up getting tickets to White Men. The venue was gorgeous, the show was great, and overall it was just a lovely atmosphere! If either of us ever go back to Auckland, we will definitely be looking to see another show here! Highly recommend!”

“Another iconic place in Auckland for theatre and arts. Wonderful performances and a meeting place for artists and art enthusiasts.”

“The best part are the acoustics. You have very good sound quality wherever you sit. The staff are friendly and helpful and the shows are always of a very high caliber.”

“I had the absolute pleasure of attending "The Importance of Being Earnest," while I was in Auckland for a weekend getaway from the South Island. I must say, it was a brilliant experience from start to finish. The production was thoroughly entertaining and the impeccable delivery of Wilde's witty dialogue had the audience in stitches throughout the entire play. What truly stood out, however, was the passion and dedication of the entire theatre company. It was evident that every member of the cast and crew poured their heart and soul into this production. In a world where big-budget productions often dominate the theatre scene, it's refreshing to see a smaller theatre company deliver such a stellar performance. They prove that talent, creativity, and a genuine love for the craft can shine just as brightly on a smaller stage. I wholeheartedly recommend attending a production to anyone seeking a night of laughter, culture, and brilliant theatre.”

“probably the best lecture theater in Albany campus but it is too cold because of the air conditionor”

“A sweet and welcoming venue. "The Heiress" was a world class performance! Loved our night at the Gryphon.”

“The Events Centre is a brand new development with the latest audio visual equipment for conferencing and events. The spaces has all new amenities, facilities and class leading infrastructure to support any size of event up to a maximum of 1200 delegates (static audience).”

“The Maori Sidesteps were wonderful. Great music, great comedy and some important messages to top it off.”

“Great facilities for performances and classes. Staff are helpful and friendly.”

“A wonderful theatre experience. The building and it's decor are breathtaking. The staff were friendly and helpful. The show was excellent. It was an unplanned night out but what a night!”

“My wife and I have veen to at least five productions so far.. Real people sing and act before you and, when you're lucky, there's the occasional interactive element. Great scripts, lighting and sound, but above all, it's the locals who pour their heart and soul into it. They enjoy themselves and so do we. Switch your TV off and experience the extra dimension only live theatre can offer.”

“What a hidden little gem. Friends and I go to a show a month, usually a musical. And we went to Mana little theatre for the first time last night. Was an intimate and well resourced little theatre. The seats are terribly uncomfortable due to their recline though so suggest taking a cushion if you struggle with back pain. Also recommend wearing layers. It was unbearably warm with thermals on! A couple of star actors there too who are destined for big things. The standard of direction was excellent.”

“Good mid sized venue for around 300 people”

“Wonderful morning at the RNZB...thank you so much to all!!!!”

“First time here. Fabulously classic well-maintained small town theatre. Two lovely women welcomed a small number of patrons seeing Ms Information. No mainstream New Plymouth theatre took the risk. Congratulations Kings for showing this film.”

“Wētā Cave is a must-visit in Wellington for anyone interested in Hollywood movies and the magic behind them. The experience offers an incredible behind-the-scenes look at how iconic Hollywood films are brought to life, with detailed props, costumes, models, and displays showcasing the craftsmanship and creativity involved. Seeing the level of detail up close gives you a whole new appreciation for what goes into blockbuster filmmaking. The atmosphere is relaxed yet inspiring, and the staff are passionate and knowledgeable, happily sharing insights and stories from major film productions. It’s an easy and enjoyable stop while exploring Wellington or the Miramar area, and the overall experience feels immersive and well worth the ticket. The store is also a highlight, packed with unique collectibles and memorabilia. If you love Hollywood films or creative storytelling, Wētā Cave is an experience you shouldn’t miss”

“Legendary place, good architectural gift on Wellington. It's a classic and iconic multifunction building on lower Cuba .”

“We had a great time over here while conducting a seminar on safe rigging practice.”

“Beautiful theatre, reception was friendly. The waiting room is bit small and became overcrowded before the show and with interval. But I will be back there, was an enjoyable evening.”

“Attended a Fever show - Live Jazz! Fantastic venue. Warm & cosy - comfy chairs and a tidy glass of wine!”

“Outstanding customer service from Lucy the manager at Ponsonby Silky Otter. She couldn’t have been more kind, friendly and keen to assist. Everyone needs a Lucy as their store manager. Thank you Lucy really appreciate you.”

“Very nice small theater, very good acting and props”

“Saw "The Play that goes wrong" here. Absolutely fantastic, I haven't laughed this hard in ages, I may have also snorted. Would recommend to everyone. Also great intimate theatre with comfy seats. Thanks Waterfront, great evening.”

“Update- this little place no longer operates as a cafe. But instead is a cute venue and pizzeria and bar. Hours can vary so best to check out when they are open for pizza and drinks. The best little cafe in Westmere. We went to a birthday party here and it had an awesome private tiny theatre and private garden. There was also the public cafe with delicious food and coffee.”

“...love this place and Ministry amen thanks regards”

“While Katherine Mansfield did not live in this particular house for very long, the house is filled with lots of memorbillia and exhibits an extensive timeline board of her life. You could spend a hours here reading this and admiring, not only the house but the well presented garden. Any easy walk from the CBD where we were staying”
