Suitable for Ages
The Hannah Playhouse is a historic theatre in the heart of Wellington City since 1973. A stunning brutalist building designed by architect James Beard and theatre designer Raymond Boyce MBE. The theatre has platformed many of Aotearoa's most innovative and successful creatives and was the home for Downstage Theatre 1973-2013.
Our unique 238-seat theatre is an ideal space for independent theatremakers to present independent seasons and develop new, exciting ideas.
The Hannah programme is curated to nurture the Aotearoa professional performing arts sector and provide experiences of scale and/or impact for Wellington audiences. Approximately half of theatre use is for the creation of new work with the provision of space and technical inventory. At all other times the Hannah lights up the corner of Cambridge Terrace and Courtenay Place with theatre, dance, comedy and multi-disciplinary experiences.
Note: The Hannah does not have a full-time Box Office, with each event choosing their own ticketing provider.
