The Court Theatre

Hidden in Christchurch’s suburb of Addington is New Zealand’s largest theatre company. In its post-earthquake refuge - an old grain shed – is a magical world of happiness, laughter, drama and intrigue, where numerous productions are staged each year. The Court Theatre is your theatre. Whoever you are.

Whilst visiting family in Christchurch we were treated to an evening at the Court Theatre. What a lovely place – easy access, easy parking, nice spacious area for drinks and a freshly made pizza before the show and an excellently produced and acted production – Easy Money.

Although it was very cold it was worth seeing this show which is outside for approximately 20 minutes. The performers explained how they lived, caught food, showed us their weapons as well as showed us their dancing with Poi, sticks etc. which was inside. Then we went along to the restaurant and we’re treated to a Hangi, however before that we had a choice of soup, we chose the Seafood Chowder which was amazing & a dessert. After this we could go outside and feed the deer. The show was great and well worth the money, and we thoroughly recommend it

The Wizard

Reviewed By martinbogo

The Wizard ( and his apprentice Ari ) can be found in the winter often in Christchurch, as well as in Omaru on North Otago. If you come across either Wizards, ask if you can sit down a spell and have a conversation. The Wizard is well spoken and quick-witted, with a great sense of humor.
