It’s a place where the echoes of the past mingle with the vibrant energy of live performance. Westpoint Performing Arts Centre isn’t just a theatre. It’s a testament to Auckland’s enduring love for the arts. The Auckland Musical Arts Trust owns this building, a testament to their commitment to nurturing creativity. Auckland Music Theatre Incorporated calls Westpoint Performing Arts Centre home, using its versatile spaces for rehearsals and performances. The main performance area can seat around 120 patrons. However, the layout can be adjusted to accommodate both intimate gatherings and larger crowds. Imagine the transformations this space has seen, from small workshops to grand productions. The land beneath Westpoint Performing Arts Centre holds a hidden history. It was once a rubbish dump. Those methane monitoring stations you see outside? They are a reminder of the site’s past.
