Good on Q Theatre for investing in local arts! We need more spaces like this in Auckland 🎭

lol cope. nobody's paying $80 for a play when power bill's due.

Reese Morgan2026-06-14T21:13:23.309Z

yeah nah I dunno, seen some absolute garbage there last year.

Kai Thompson2026-06-14T20:40:23.309Z

yeah nah, another money sink that'll be bailed out by the council in 3 years. theatre's dead, mate.

Investing in theatre in this economy? lol good luck getting people to pay $80 for a seat when rent's through the roof.

Worked in theatre for 10 years. This is way overdue - our industry needs proper backing, not just scraps.

“Business of theatre” is an oxymoron. It’s an art, not a business. But try telling that to the suits.

Luca Reid2026-06-14T22:26:23.309Z

same, hope they actually use it for good programming not just padding execs' pockets

Luca Reid2026-06-14T22:12:23.309Z

Honestly stoked to see this. Q’s been putting on bangers lately, hope they use the cash to keep ticket prices down

Ruby Fraser2026-06-14T22:24:23.309Z

get stuffed, theatre's been a business since Shakespeare. don't pretend art never needed money.

Sophie Ngata2026-06-14T22:26:23.309Z

Some real negativity in here. Arts bring people together, maybe get off the couch and see a show for once?

Kai Thompson2026-06-14T22:51:23.309Z

what a load of shit

Kai Thompson2026-06-14T22:59:23.309Z

ffs another arts cash grab. council should be fixing potholes not funding wannabe actors.
