Remember to schedule the 2021 TheatreFest Finals, Masterclasses, AGM and Social Celebrations in your Theatre planning.

Even if you aren’t entering TheatreFest, there will be workshops and net-working you may want to take advantage of.  Or simply attend the performances and, participate in the joyous celebrations of this long-standing national theatre body.

But, if you haven’t ever shared in, but are intrigued by and wish to enter TheatreFest, then help acclaim this occasion. Please visit our website. More information on this National Celebration in the New Year.

Wow! 80 Years of One-Act Play Festivals!
Te Whanganui aTara/Wellington is looking forward to hosting you.

  • to foster the appreciation and study of theatre.
  • to act as a national consultative and advisory body in all aspects of theatre.
  • to conduct or arrange courses, workshops, festivals or competitions on any aspect of theatre.
