We look forward to continuing working alongside The South Taranaki District Council to update the theatre facilities and equipment so as to maintain the theatre's reputation as being "one of the best small-town theatres" in the country.
This year our main focus will be on the applications for funding to move forward our proposal to have air conditioning units installed in the auditorium. We are very keen to improve the "comfort level' of theatre patrons by giving audiences some cool air in the summer months and a bit more warmth in the winter.
2024 will kick off with a concert produced by the Theatre Trust and directed by Judy Brown. STAGE & SCREEN will take you back over some of the songs you will all know from films and musicals. The show will feature the THEATRE TRUST SINGERS, local performers and some special "surprise" appearances.
