The Playhouse Theatre
About the Business
Welcome to The Playhouse Theatre, located at 31 Albany Street in Dunedin, New Zealand. As Dunedin's little theatre with a big heart, we are proud to be the home of the Dunedin Repertory Society, a renowned institution that has been delighting audiences with quality amateur productions for over 75 years.
At The Playhouse Theatre, we believe in the power of theatre to entertain, inspire, and bring people together. That's why we offer a diverse range of performances to cater to all ages and tastes. During school holidays, we present captivating children's theatre productions that are sure to spark the imagination of young ones. And for adults, we curate an intriguing mix of theatre performances throughout the year, showcasing talent from both local and visiting artists.
But we are more than just a theatre. We are a hub for creativity and community. We take pride in hosting other productions and festivals in our intimate and welcoming space. Whether it's a local playwright's debut or a cultural celebration, The Playhouse Theatre is a place where artists and audiences can come together to celebrate the magic of live performance.
We are excited to announce that we are currently working towards a refurbishment of our beloved theatre. This will ensure that our audiences continue to enjoy the best possible experience in a comfortable and modern setting. Stay tuned for updates on this exciting project!
To make all this possible, The Dunedin Repertory Society Committee is elected at each Annual General Meeting to manage the business of the Society and look after the theatre. We are fortunate to have a dedicated committee comprising individuals who are passionate about theatre and community engagement. Their commitment and hard work ensure that The Playhouse Theatre continues to thrive.
We would also like to express our gratitude to the Otago Community Trust and Dunedin City Council for their generous support in the development of this website. It is through their contributions that we are able to provide you with up-to-date information about our upcoming shows, events, and initiatives.
So, whether you are a theatre enthusiast, a lover of the arts, or simply looking for a night of entertainment, we invite you to join us at The Playhouse Theatre. Discover the joy of live performance and be part of the vibrant theatre community in Dunedin. We look forward to welcoming you soon!

"School kids putting on a play you have to love them all"
"Always a brilliant production for young and not so young."
"Was so impressed with the school holiday show Pinocchio! A fantastic experience and great to see young ones pursuing the arts too."
"Mousetrap was a great show, get along if you can. Theatre is showing her age, but staff were great, able take glass wine to your seat. Loved the mousetrap offering at the interval."
"Very cool little retro theater. Went to a burlesque show here. Drinks were cheap, entertainment was good, bathroom facilities were good. Only thing was the rows of seats were so close together it made it impossible to go to the bathroom or get refreshments during the show without disrupting everyone in the row! But would not stop me going again!"
