About Pitt St Theatre

Pitt St Theatre is a small inner-city theatre at 78 Pitt Street in the Auckland CBD, inside the Pitt Street church complex. Its distinctive feature is its purpose: it is a low-cost venue for the community to tell its own stories, and it says it supports local talent. The building was once used as a gym, a cinema and a rehearsal space, and it was turned into a theatre from 2018, opening on 23 November 2019.

The theatre has a main auditorium, a foyer, a green room, toilets, a wardrobe and a tech area. The stage is small, with a large front stage area. SEED Theatre Co is a guest company in residence. Recent productions include Stray Theatre's short play festival, and the venue also hosts workshops in theatre for expression and creativity.

Wheelchair access is available, and a disabled parking space by the front door ramp can be held if asked for in advance. Visitors coming by car drive down the left side of the church. The theatre has a newsletter sign-up on its website.
