Creative New Zealand is taking the unusual step of investing in a theatre. It's announced it will stump up $3 million over two years for Auckland's Waterfront Theatre Project. Arts Council Chairman Alastair Carruthers says while it is unusual for Creative New Zealand to invest in a capital project, it's an exceptional opportunity to help fill a large gap in Aucklandâ s arts infrastructure. He says many theatre companies in Auckland are hampered by a lack of mid-sized venues. The Waterfront Theatre Project includes a 600 seat theatre, designed specifically for drama and dance. Creative New Zealand's investment is possible thanks to one-off New Zealand Lottery Grants Board income. Photo: stock.xchng |
