The exciting purpose-built Court Theatre includes 360-seat main playhouse auditorium and a 130-seat studio theatre for children and family shows, as well as front-of-house facilities. The project forms part of the earthquake recovery plan for central Christchurch and is situated in the Performing Arts Precinct on Gloucester Street.
The original architectural design concept was led by Haworth Tomkins in the UK who have extensive experience in theatre design - the preliminary design was handed over to Athfield Architects in New Zealand for collaborative completion.
