Presented by Theatre New Zealand and proudly hosted by Havelock Community Theatre, this exciting festival celebrates the very best of community theatre across the top of the south regions.

TheatreFest is known for embracing all forms of theatrical expression, with performances up to 50 minutes that can include everything from traditional plays to experimental and youth theatre.
This festival is part of the nationwide TheatreFest programme, the backbone of community theatre in Aotearoa. It provides a platform for performers, directors, writers, and technicians to develop their craft, gain valuable feedback from accredited adjudicators, and connect with other theatre-makers
