Circa Theatre has been a champion of New Zealand Theatre for 40 years. Circa has a nation-wide reputation for excellence, built on 40 years of professional experience. We have been champions of quality playwriting and performance since 1976, and we continue to take a leadership role; ensuring that theatre practitioners are well-supported so that they can make the best theatre in New Zealand.

Hundreds of productions have been presented by Circa. We have two performance spaces where 20-30 shows are staged each year, providing the Wellington theatre-going audience a very busy and diverse bill of entertainment!

Our two performance spaces allow us to present an eclectic annual season of work, which includes a mix of popular and academic, comedy and drama, musicals and play readings, one-person shows and pantomime.
