Now in its sixth year, this programme brings together emerging playwrights from across Aotearoa with experienced mentors to craft brand new 10-minute plays. Each piece is then brought to life in a whirlwind day of creativity — matched with a professional director and a cast of local actors for a one-day rehearsal, culminating in a staged script-in-hand reading that same evening.

After fifty years of high quality and diverse delivery, we take pride in being the only remaining professional theatre house in regional Aotearoa. This unique position makes it even more important that we ensure the next fifty years are just as successful.

Do you have a special client in town, need an idea for date night or want to reward your staff with a memorable work do? Treat them to the best Palmerston North has to offer in dining and entertainment by purchasing a Centrepoint Theatre Dinner + Show deal.

It’s our 50th birthday! We have created some merch to share with you, that celebrate our shows over the past five decades.
