Wellington City Council and Hannah Playhouse Trust are working together to operate The Hannah as a performance laboratory for a diverse range of artists and organisations to develop their professional performing arts practice and new works.

With a focus on mid and senior career artists, our unique 238-seat theatre is an ideal space for dedicated exploration, enabling deeper development of new works, as well as offering a flexible mid-scale presentation space for independent seasons.

Our programme is curated to deliver to all four pou of the Aho Tini Strategy, with a commitment to nurturing the performing arts sector and in turn the whole of Wellington.
