Circa Theatre staged its first production in April 1976 and soon gained a status as one of New Zealand's liveliest and most innovative theatres. Circa theatre initiated its own co-operative system and studio where all available resources are directed towards those who provide the life blood of the theatre. This includes the people involved in growing the production. This is a system which, in stressing the qualities of commitment and self help, promotes the pursuit of theatre of the highest professional standard. The Circa Theatre is run by a Council of mainly actors and theatre practitioners who access the best plays from New Zealand and all around the world.

Each play in the Circa Theatre is actually a single venture partnership of Actors, Directors and Theatre Personnel. Each production is produced by individual dramatic partnerships. The team of Circa Theatre is a highly motivated team that ensures a superior standard and actively demonstrates a wide range of talent and abilities.

Circa Theatre moved to its new premises at 1 Taranaki Street in the month of November 1994. It opened the new theatre with a striking production of Tony Kushner's Angels In America, which won many awards at that year's Chapman Tripp Wellington Theatre Awards.

Over 200 productions have been presented by Circa Theatre. With the studio running as well as the main auditorium up to 20 different shows are staged in a year. This provides the theatre people with much needed employment and income.

Some of the other popular theatres apart from the Circa theatre are Downstage theatre and BATS theatre. There is also a theatre for children known as the Capital E's National Theatre for Children.

There are many popular restaurants and bars situated nearby the Circa Theatre in Wellington. You can dine out with your family and friends at these eateries after enjoying a show in the theatre.

Wellington is the arts capital of the country and along with the professional theatres there is ballet, opera, concerts, galleries and a thriving night scene based around Courtenay Place for the entertainment of the guests.
