Reviews
"Such a nice venue with friendly management and cool technicians"
"Nice theatre with a big stage. There is not much parking nearby. Moreover, it is beside a school."
"Went to the filming of 5 minutes of Fame for Maori television. Great atmosphere great sound... awesome experience"
"Came here for a matariki glow show. It was great and we really enjoyed it. The room was cozy not too big and not too small."
"This is good fairly central performance space with dry acoustics more suited to musicals and theatre rather than orchestral which is not very forgiving for more lush works although the sound shells help to degree. The venue's facilities are comfortable with good backstage changing areas, kitchen green room etc. The audience seating is comfortable with good viewing all around. The theatre is well designed to cater for mid sized numbers. Stage help with lighting seating etc is very good. The stage pit can be lowered. I just wish the acoustic was more forgiving!"
