Its mainstage holds 954 seats, and the Les Lye Studio Theatre holds between 199 and 234. The building opened in 1988; the studio was added in February 2011.
The theatre opened in 1988 as part of a civic complex and became part of the city's public assets after the 2001 municipal merger. It has since established itself as a venue for regular performances.
The venue hosts a variety of performances from local theatre groups, musicals, and dance productions that reflect the community's artistic interests. Visitors encounter different art forms throughout the year, supporting artists and performers from the region.
The venue operates with a dedicated team of full-time staff and volunteers who assist with daily operations. Professional technical support ensures that performances run smoothly and safely for all attendees.
The studio theatre was renamed in 2019 to honor a prominent local actor and broadcaster who made lasting contributions to the arts scene. This tribute reflects the venue's deep connection to regional artists.
