Guided Tours are back but with a friendly twist!*
Step behind the curtain and discover how the magic is made at The Court Theatre. From the first sketch to the final spotlight, everything that appears on stage is carefully designed and lovingly crafted to transport our audiences into entirely new worlds.
Now back in the heart of Christchurch, The Court Theatre creates everything on-site, from the construction of grand sets in our workshop to the design and fabrication of the stunning costumes you’ve seen in productions like Strictly Ballroom and Something Rotten!.
A Friend of The Court Theatre will host your tour, sharing stories of past productions and giving you a real taste of what goes on behind the scenes at the South Island's largest theatre company.
Please note that as this tour may go through the workshop and backstage areas, closed toe shoes must be worn for health and safety reasons.
*Court Theatre Guided Tours are proudly supported and delivered by the Friends of The Court Theatre.
