An Audience with Sam Neill
In conversation with Ian Fraser
7pm drinks, 7.30pm show
Sunday 22 Feb 2026
Join us for a rare and intimate evening with one of Aotearoa’s most celebrated performers. As Circa marks its 50th anniversary, we are honoured to welcome Sir Sam Neill back to the theatre where he first appeared in 1976 in Juno and the Paycock.
In conversation with broadcaster and writer Ian Fraser, Sir Sam will reflect on his extraordinary career spanning more than 150 film, television and documentary roles; his early life in Christchurch; his deep commitment to environmental advocacy; and his enduring connection to Aotearoa.
This special one-night-only event is a fundraiser for the Theatre Artists Charitable Trust (TACT), supporting the next generation of theatre-makers to build sustainable careers and continue creating world-class work in Wellington.
