Glen Eden Playhouse Theatre, Community theatre in Glen Eden, New Zealand

Glen Eden Playhouse Theatre is a performance venue in West Auckland with a fully equipped stage and auditorium for theatrical and musical productions. The facility includes modern technical equipment to support a range of different types of shows and events.

Glen Eden's first public hall opened on this site in 1901, opened by MP John Bollard, and burned down in 1935. The replacement building opened on 12 May 1937 with Town Board offices, a library and a 500-seat auditorium, and became known as the Star Theatre until it closed in 1972. Three local theatre groups then leased it, renamed it the Playhouse Theatre and staged their first public performance, A Night of Variety, in October 1972.

The playhouse serves as home to local theatre groups and school performances that bring their productions to this stage regularly. The community gathers here to share and experience their own artistic expressions.

The theatre stands on the site of Glen Eden's first public hall, opened in 1901, and the 1937 replacement building fronts the street in Glen Eden village. The 2003 remodel added air conditioning to the redesigned auditorium and an orchestra pit, and improved the front of house and supper room. The venue is run with support from the Waitākere Ranges Local Board.

The Star Theatre name was kept until 1972, when the building closed because of declining financial viability. That year three local groups—St Thomas's Light Opera Club, Western Players and Auckland Children's Light Opera Society—leased the hall, renamed it the Playhouse Theatre and staged A Night of Variety as their first public performance in October 1972.
