Hop on over from Aotea Square to enjoy the wide range of theatre, dance, multi-media arts, cabaret, comedy and music on offer at Q Theatre. When it comes to entertainment, this hip performance venue has no bounds. Here you can enjoy experimental and indie productions, well-known comedians and international festivals – they are more than happy to dazzle under one roof.
Don’t be fooled by its low-key exterior on Queen Street – the multi-theatre venue is larger than you might think. Catch a live comedy performance or a vivacious play at the Q’s main space, the Rangatira theatre, which holds up to 500 visitors. Over at its smaller studio theatre, the Loft, you’ll find a more intimate setting that puts experimental and small-scale shows in the limelight.
Grab some small plates or a craft beer at Q Theatre’s café and bar, Citizen Q. No need to rush off after the show – on Fridays and Saturdays, Citizen Q is open ‘til late. You can feel good indulging a little bit, too, with 100% of the profits supporting the stage.
