In October 2023, the society celebrated 130 years of quality drama in Central Hawke's Bay with a full reproduction of it's first dramatic offering.  Two Victorian farces - 'Box & Cox, Married & Settled'  by J Stirling Coyne and  'Done On Both Sides' by John Maddison Morton were interspersed with live classical music from three accomplished local musicians.

Waipukurau Little Theatre is a not for profit organisation that have over the years produced two, three or more shows a year to reach a total in excess of 200 shows, often to sell out audiences.  We have been lucky to have many talented directors, actors, backstage crew and supporters that are keen to be involved.  More importantly we have been well supported by the Central Hawke's Bay community who have attended our shows and enabled us to continue with our productions.  For this we thank you.

The goal of the Society is to foster the dramatic arts in Central Hawke's Bay and the fact that we have continued to do so for so many years is a mark of the vitality of the talent available in the district.  There has been a constant renewal of the people involved keeping the society alive and vibrant.  

We welcome new members, actors, directors, assistants etc..  Anyone who would like to become involved, in any way, please contact us through our contact page.  Anyone who has been involved in the past please feel free to browse our archive pages or indeed renew your involvement.  We are endeavouring to update these archives continuously.  We would welcome any information that you can add, to aid us in this task.

 Where are we?
