Performing since 1936, it is one of the oldest continuously operating drama groups within Aotearoa New Zealand and one of a few societies to have its own purpose-built theatre; constructed in 1954, the theatre has since become a familiar part of the local Tauranga community.

16th Ave actively encourages anyone who may be looking for a creative outlet or hobby to join in with the ranks of local pe

ople enjoying all the challenges that theatre has to offer. Aspiring actors and directors will always be welcomed and mentored or if your focus is more aligned to creativity with your hands then the theatre offers many challenges in the set construction, properties, wardrobe, technical, and front of house roles - willing helpers are always welcome. The theatre is available to hire for stage productions, events, meetings and conferences.

NELL GWYNN

22 Nov - 7 Dec
https://www.iticket.co.nz/events/2024/nov/nell-gwynn

Nell’s rise from the streets of London to stardom is nothing short of legendary, but it’s her wild and daring affair with King Charles II that really steals the spotlight. In the middle of royal gossip, scandal, and endless parties, their love story defies all the rules, lasting right up until the king’s final breath.

This fast-paced, wickedly funny play dives into their electric romance, mixing drama, music, humour, and plenty of sass. Set in the glamorous 1600s, the costumes and sets are pure eye candy, bringing to life a time when love was risky, the parties were wild, and nothing was off-limits. Get ready for a love story that’s anything but dull!

Early bird tickets available for first three performances. One already sold out!
