Bats Theatre
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bats Theatre is New Zealand's leading venue for the development of new theatre practitioners and plays. Bats, established in its present form by Simon Bennett and Simon Elson in 1989, is located at 1 Kent Terrace, Wellington.
Bats is a small theatre seating under 100 people, and has minimal backstage areas. The theatre, traditionally dark on Sundays and Mondays, frequently puts on two or three differing plays in one night. It has been home to much of Wellington's young and experimental theatrical talent, and runs the Young and Hungry and STAB seasons annually. Despite its small size it has a significant impact and complements the work of the nearby much larger Circa and Downstage theatres.
Bats is largely funded by Creative New Zealand and ticket sales.
