What Howick Little Theatre Says:
Howick Little Theatre, founded in 1954, is recognised as being at the forefront of New Zealand community theatre and a market leader on the Auckland scene. Drawing audiences from all over the city and as far away as New Plymouth, Hamilton, Napier and Tauranga, Howick Little Theatre has a reputation for quality productions and a penchant for dynamic, contemporary plays, including new New Zealand work such as King and Country (Dave Armstrong), Home Land (Gary Henderson) and The Raft and The Birthday Boy (Carl Nixon).
On offer each year are five plays. Those remaining in 2011 are: Heroes, a comedy set in France in 1959, written by Gerald Sibleyras and translated from the French, Le Vent de Peupliers, by Tom Stoppard – some akin to Grumpy Old Men meets Last of the Summer Wine; and Backstage, a comedy by UK playwright Roy Smiles that revolves around a rowing American vaudeville family in 1939. Both are Auckland premieres. Tickets are available via www.iTicket.co.nz or by calling the theatre, 534-1406. Subscriptions are available, offering discounted tickets.
As well as venue and wardrobe hire, the theatre also offers drama classes for all ages with professional tutors. In the past 12 years, those interested in acting, directing, vocal training, lighting and set design have had the opportunity to attend workshops with leading New Zealand theatre professionals, including Justin Lewis, Bryan Caldwell, Tracy Grant, Oliver Driver, Cameron Rhodes, Stuart Devenie and Jennifer Ward-Lealand. Young people are encouraged to get involved and HLT offers opportunities for first-time directors, as well as training for backstage personnel.
In July 2009, the theatre, a first-time entrant, was named a finalist in the Excellence in Tourism and Hospitality category of the WESTPAC MANUKAU BUSINESS EXCELLENCE AWARDS.
