As sponsors of The Court Theatre, we were recently treated to a behind-the-scenes tour of their new purpose-built home located in central Christchurch.
Featuring a 377-seat main auditorium and a second smaller studio theatre, the new building also has carefully planned rehearsal spaces, areas for event hire, and space for the Court’s very own set-builders and costume-makers.
“We wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for the support of our sponsors, so we cannot thank Lane Neave enough for their belief in us and their long-standing support,” says Jenny May, Deputy Chair of The Court Theatre Trust Board.
Lane Neave Managing Partner Andrew Shaw says championing the arts is one of the many important ways we support our local communities.
“It’s wonderful to once again be able to enjoy Court Theatre performances in the heart of our city. It adds huge vibrancy to Christchurch’s inner-city, and we cannot wait to host clients there so they can see the impressive spaces for themselves.
“It really has been a privilege to be a part of the journey that has seen the Court Theatre not just survive but thrive following the devastating Canterbury earthquakes that ultimately led to this rebuild.”
