General venue description and history
Repertory's first production was on 15 November 1928 at the Radiant Hall (now The Repertory Theatre), and the Canterbury Repertory Theatre Society (Inc.) was incorporated on 1st April 1930. The Society's objectives are to:

1. Produce plays of literacy and artistic merit
2. Conduct drama classes and readings
3. Foster public interest in dramatic art, and to carry out these objectives only within New Zealand.

The Society's has been serving its members and the community at the present location for over 77 years. It purchased the theatre in 1950. The building is distinctive with the facade very much as it was when it was built. There have been some alterations made to the interior, but in the main it has kept its essence which gives it a unique charm all of its own.

The Canterbury Repertory Theatre Society (Inc.) is committed to staging five productions per year, filling all the key roles from its membership. It also rents out the premises at very reasonable rates to other groups and organizations. As a non-profit incorporated society Repertory is run by volunteers who love entertaining and being involved in a friendly environment. If you would like to become involved either actively or as a supporter please fill in the form at the Becoming a Member page.
