Allen Hall Theatre

At the University of Otago the Allen Hall Theatre provides a venue for student productions, including the popular twice-weekly lunchtime theatre for much of the year. Theatre Studies staff have also long been a part of the city's vibrant theatre scene. The Department of Theatre Studies also maintains Theatre Aotearoa, an archive of information about stage productions in New Zealand from the nineteenth century to the present day. The German Department regularly produces plays in German, and the Classics Department annually produces classical tragedies and comedies translated into English by award-winning playwright Harry Love.
