For nearly 100 years Riverlea Theatre has been in the heart of Kirikiriroa, and a well-loved member of the Waikato arts community.
Riverlea Theatre houses a number of multi-functional spaces available for private hire.
We pride ourselves on being the home to three of Hamilton's theatre societies.
HMT have been creating quality musical theatre in Hamilton for over 50 years...
Established in 1933 by Walter Russell-Woodare, Hamilton Playbox is one of the Waikato's oldest repertory societies...
Our set of drama and musical theatre classes run in Terms 1 - 3 each year, facilitated by experts from the community...
Community theatre is the best training ground for aspiring theatre makers and artists.
Cool people you might know who have graced the Riverlea Theatre stage:
The Riverlea Theatre Board is made up of volunteers from both, the theatre and wider community, as well as each of the resident societies.
The Board meets bi-monthly to discuss matters regarding the venue, and ongoing fundraising ventures for the theatre's upgrade.
