Final push for funds for new Court Theatre

Now that progress on the new Court Theatre site is clear for all to see, attention is swinging to the last big fundraising push.

About $10.8 million of The Court Theatre’s $12 million fundraising target is now secure. To close the gap, The Court is asking supporters to ‘Take YOUR Seat’ in the new main auditorium, a 375-seat playhouse theatre at the heart of the new three-storey building, which will also have a 130-seat theatre, an education studio and several multipurpose spaces.

In return for a donation of $1500 (per seat, tax-deductible), a personalised bespoke plaque with your inscription will be affixed to your Court Theatre seats for 10 years. This can by family name, in memorial of someone special or pseudonym – whatever appeals.

The TAKE YOUR SEAT campaign will be launched at a function at Tūranga, overlooking the new theatre build, on Friday 28 April. If all 375 seats are bought, that will bring in another $500,000 or more.

Also at the 28 April function at Tūranga, the main auditorium’s name will be announced.
