BATS THEATRE 
Finalists - 2016 Creative Gold

BATS Theatre is one of the busiest theatres in the country.

"It’s put a lot of bums on seats in its 27-year history, and last year was its biggest year ever – as over half of all live theatre productions in Wellington were performed on BATS’ stages." says Programme Manager Heather O'Carroll. (pictured)

More than a venue for hire, more than a traditional theatre company producing its own work, BATS is also New Zealand’s strongest developmental theatre - an open home for artists, and a training ground for New Zealand’s future actors, writers, directors, designers, technicians and – probably - reviewers.

BATS has had a profound impact on Wellington’s vibrant arts scene, partnering with creative people to make bold ideas happen in front of enthusiastic and loyal audiences.
