Its 2am and there is no other place to go… The iconic (and only) Karaoke bar in Palmerston North has just been sold! What will happen to the late-night drinks, the chicken wings and the best Karaoke this side of the Manawatū River? The new owners are out-of-towners and the words “Asian Fusion restaurant” are muttered – the community is faced with some burning questions: Is this the end of their “community” as we know it? What will happen to the Annual Karaoke Competition? And why are the floors still so sticky?

After a sold-out six-week run at Circa Theatre in 2024, End of Summertime hits Palmy! Written by the legendary Sir Roger Hall, this comedy brings back rugby-loving Dickey Hart, a fan favourite from the late ‘90s hit Come on Black.

Whether you’re a history buff, know the 1997 film by heart, or just want a fun night out, this fast-paced comedy is for you! Three performers and a live musician attempt the impossible: to capture the Titanic’s first and last voyage—with minimal props and maximum laughs. From shipwrecks to conspiracy theories, and everything in between, this show covers it all!

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.

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.
