André Chumko, Dominion Post, Sep 02 2022 

Wellington’s Hannah Playhouse theatre will be reopened as an affordable, flexible arts incubation space where performers can experiment with, develop and show new works.  

Wellington City Council will contribute $200,000 a year over a three-year pilot to the theatre’s operating costs to ensure the space remains affordable, starting next month.  

“We’re re-awakening the venue, it’s like Sleeping Beauty in many ways,” Gisella Carr, the council’s head of arts and culture, said in an interview this week. [More]
