Te Raukura ki Kāpiti, Coastlands Theatre

A new Performing Arts Centre on the Kāpiti Coast - Te Raukura ki Kāpiti has been built on the grounds of Kāpiti College, providing an exciting community hub for performing and creative artists.

Coastlands’ Theatre is our principal venue for events, seating up to 331. This is a proscenium arch theatre with a fully functional fly tower and counterweight flying system, designed to cater for a wide array of productions. This auditorium is complete with a 10m x 12m sprung floor stage and fly space above.

A full lighting rig, accessible by gantry, and professional sound system will meet the needs of any hirer. The front two rows are removable to form an orchestra pit.

Coastlands’ Theatre is acoustically excellent for a wide variety of productions, hitting the sweet spot of enough resonance for orchestra and choir, while not too much for unamplified voice or reinforced sound. The $1m heating and ventilation system provides near-silent airflow through a plenum under the seats to keep patrons at a comfortable temperature.

The Theatre is available for bookings for live performance, events and conferences.
