The Soundshell is a stage at 101 Glenmore Street in Alicetown, Lower Hutt, and its name says what it is for: sound, and the people who make it. A stage is where a performer stands in front of an audience, and at a venue like this that is the whole point. Everything else about the place is there to serve what happens on that stage, so a visit is mostly about the performance you have come to see.
Lower Hutt sits in the Hutt Valley, north-east of Wellington city, and Alicetown is one of its suburbs, so Glenmore Street is within easy reach of the rest of the valley and the capital. For anyone looking for a stage in Lower Hutt, The Soundshell is the place to start, because it gives the town a venue where live music and performance are the reason for the trip.
