A wonderfully watery Wellington tale!

COVID-19 PROTECTION FRAMEWORK UPDATE 30/11/21:

COVID UPDATE 30/11: Circa at Orange 🟠 To open at capacity under the Covid-19 Protection Framework (Traffic Light System) we must follow the My Vaccine Pass requirements. As of Friday the 3rd December 2021, we will require all patrons over the age of 12 years and 3 months to present a My Vaccine Pass to enter our premises at any traffic light setting. At traffic light Orange or Red, face coverings will be required when visiting Circa.

From 17th Dec we are still selling seats at a ‘reduced capacity’ until we have more certainty about the upcoming change in levels. If we appear to be ‘sold out’, please email our Box Office at circa@circa.co.nz and we will add you to our waitlist. You will be contacted again if/when we move levels. Thank you for your understanding.

Our highly-acclaimed Panto team is back this festive season with a Hans Christian Andersen tale but with a twist … and a bucket fountain full of local references.

Gavin Rutherford returns as our beloved Dame: “Shelly Bay – a poor lonely widow fisherwoman”.

Join us for a Panto overflowing with laughs and toe tapping, tail flapping songs which will be sure to have the whole family leaving with a tune in their heart and a smile on their gills.
