Centrepoint Theatre

Centrepoint Theatre is a professional performance venue in Palmerston North that hosts plays, dramas, and musicals throughout the year. The space features a well-designed stage and seating layout that works for different types of productions and audiences.

The theatre opened its doors in 1973 as a new venture for the region and gradually became an established cultural institution. Over time it took on growing importance as the only professional theatre serving a wide area outside New Zealand's major cities.

The venue has long served as a gathering place where people from the region come to experience theatre by and for their community. Local artists and performers find a stage here to share their work with audiences who support artistic expression.

The venue is accessible for visitors with various needs, and parking is available nearby for those arriving by car. You can easily combine a show with dinner, as the theatre works with local restaurants to offer convenient dining options.

The venue celebrated five decades of operation with a special anniversary season that mixed classic favorites with new work. This milestone programming showed how deeply the theatre remained connected to its audience over the years.
