Glen Eden Playhouse Theatre

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.

The building was constructed after a fire in 1935 destroyed the original Glen Eden Town Hall and opened on Coronation Day in 1937. During the 1960s it operated as a cinema called Star Theatre before being converted to a theatre in 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 venue offers wheelchair accessible seating and an on-site box office for ticket sales. Refreshments are available during performances.

The theatre was originally a cinema known as Star Theatre in the 1960s, a past identity that remains visible in the building's architecture and hall design. This earlier purpose shaped how the space still functions today.
