Centrepoint Theatre

Palmerston North's Centrepoint Theatre is the only professional theatre in New Zealand to operate outside the four main centres of Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch and Dunedin.

Professional theatres like Centrepoint play a vital role in growing New Zealand's theatre community by creating work for professional actors, designers and technicians - skilled theatre practitioners who keep our industry thriving!

For the past 34 years we have built our reputation on outstanding theatre designed to inspire, entertain and challenge audiences. Our Vision is ‘to be a thriving theatre reaching audiences from all walks of life' with a company mission to encourage greater participation in the performing arts by providing a unique theatrical experience that consistently sets superior standards in quality, variety, content and presentation.

We are particularly proud of our track record in producing local content for our local audience. Several New Zealand plays that premiered at Centrepoint have gone on to successful runs in theatres across the country.
