Cambridge Repertory Society Inc
About the Business
Welcome to the Cambridge Repertory Society Inc, located in the charming town of Cambridge, Waikato, New Zealand. Our establishment is a point of interest for theater enthusiasts and lovers of the performing arts.
At the Cambridge Repertory Society, we strive to bring the best of theater to our community. One of our recent productions was Oscar Wilde's comedic masterpiece, The Importance of Being Earnest. This play, hailed as the only pure verbal opera in English by critic W.H. Auden, captivated audiences with its clever wit and charm.
The Importance of Being Earnest tells the story of two young gentlemen in London who lead double lives, weaving intricate deceptions to find balance. Set in the Victorian era, the play hilariously explores the absurdity of societal expectations and the pursuit of love and happiness.
In addition to classic plays, we also showcase unique and original productions. One such production is Judy and Johnny's 1950s fantasy. These two enthusiasts have taken role-playing to a whole new level, immersing themselves in a nostalgic world of mid-century charm. With a perfectly preserved pastel bathroom, vintage knick-knacks, and the smells of homemade cooking, Judy and Johnny live out their ultimate retro dream. However, the challenges of the 21st century begin to encroach on their idyllic bubble, leading to uproarious situations and hilarious misunderstandings.
Another production that will have you in stitches is Henry A. Perkins' misadventures in our farcical comedy. Henry, a mild-mannered C.P.A., accidentally stumbles upon a briefcase filled with money. Assuming it to be illicit, he decides to keep it and plans a lavish getaway. However, chaos ensues when detectives and mistaken identities complicate Henry's plans, leading to a series of side-splitting and increasingly hysterical situations.
The Gaslight Theatre, our home, is where the magic of theater comes to life. We collaborate with local directors, actors, sound and lighting technicians, and back-stage enthusiasts to bring you three to four shows each year. Our dedicated team ensures that every performance is a memorable and enjoyable experience for all.
Whether you are a theater aficionado or simply seeking a night of laughter and entertainment, the Cambridge Repertory Society Inc is the place to be. Join us for an unforgettable evening of live theater and immerse yourself in the world of captivating performances.
Visit us at our address in Cambridge, Waikato, and become a part of our vibrant theater community. We look forward to welcoming you to the Cambridge Repertory Society Inc.

"Quirky and quaint. A great atmosphere in a small theatre where it's intimacy is part of its charm. Loved it."
"We visited the Cambridge Repertory Society (aka The Gaslight Theatre) to see a dinner performance of "12 Angry Men". The theatre is down the end of a quiet street, in an interesting remodelled historic building. The staff welcomed us at the door, pointed out the facilities, and showed us to our seats. It is a very cosy setting, with three small tiers of seating areas. The dinner (catered by a local café) was fine, and the show was outstanding. We would definitely go back."
