About the Business
Welcome to the Globe Theatre, located at 104 London Street in the vibrant city of Dunedin, New Zealand. Steeped in history and bursting with creativity, the Globe Theatre is a beloved establishment and a true point of interest for locals and visitors alike.
Established in 1961 by Patric and Rosalie Carey, the Globe Theatre started as a small 30-seat theater, an extension of their charming 1860's London Street home. Over the years, it has grown into a 70-seat theater, showcasing the talent and passion of the Dunedin community. As one of Dunedin's foremost community theaters, the Globe has been recognized with multiple awards for its exceptional productions.
The Globe Theatre has always been at the forefront of artistic expression, pushing boundaries and introducing groundbreaking works to New Zealandn audiences. It proudly hosted the Australasian premiere of Samuel Becket's iconic play, Waiting for Godot, and served as the birthplace for the plays of renowned local playwright James K Baxter. The theater has also premiered works by other talented local playwrights, showcasing the richness and diversity of the New Zealandn theater scene.
Throughout the years, the theater scene in Dunedin has evolved, and the Globe Theatre has adapted to these changes. Today, it presents a dynamic and diverse annual season, featuring a mix of modern and classic plays from various genres. From thought-provoking dramas to side-splitting comedies, there is something for everyone at the Globe.
What makes the Globe Theatre truly special is its community-driven approach. The theater is administered by The Friends of the Globe, a dedicated group of volunteers who are passionate about supporting the arts. They tirelessly contribute their time and skills to ensure the smooth running of the theater. Whether you have a flair for acting, directing, stage crew, set building, or technical operations, the Globe warmly welcomes anyone interested in getting involved.

Reviews
"Watched Boeing Boeing, a brilliant play. Fabulous cast, awesome theatre. Will definitely be going back, the whole experience was brilliant."
"Great night. Wonderful play. Very friendly and welcoming staff. Classic dunedin venue. Live theater...you can't beat it for touching the heart and really feeling alive. Just do it (and please don't sue me for the last statement)."
"Love the atmosphere of an old theatre. Friendly staff. Really organised for Covid requirements. Great Agatha Christie show. Seats are not as comfy as a modern theatre but certainly not uncomfortable either. Front seats would be good for those that can't manage small numbers of stairs."
"Cosy place where drama plays are done. Set in a home of dedicated theatre actors. Atmosphere is great. Watching actors perform plays is a great experience. Will go again."
"The Globe Theater is a real Dunedin treasure, it puts on challenging and thought provoking plays in a charming and historically significant venue. The effort and money that had gone into maintenance and upgrading the Globe Theatre provides a wonderful experience."
