This is BATS’ classic black box theatre, so anything can happen in here. This space was completely rebuilt to be as much like the original theatre as possible.

BATS Theatre

From a gorgeous three level repurposed historic building we nurture creative talent and showcase exciting new NZ performance. BATS is more than its building - he tangata, he tangata, he tangata. We value our people and the unique cultural identity and history of Wellington and Aotearoa. We seek to decolonise spaces and remove the barriers to success through working openly together.
