Fundraising Goal: $3,000,000
The development of Ngā Toi, including the Gough Family Theatre, is the current building project on the St Andrew’s College campus. This exciting facility will be a hub for many Secondary and Preparatory School students who take part in a wide variety of cultural pursuits at the College.
The St Andrew’s College Drama Club began in 1921. Cultural pursuits have always been an integral part of life at the College. Students immersed in the arts are encouraged to think critically, be culturally aware, take risks, communicate ideas and express themselves.
Hundreds of people in the St Andrew’s community visit the Theatre each year to watch our enthusiastic, talented students perform in top quality theatre and ballet productions, music performances and dance revues. The Theatre is also a place where students can learn to participate in behind the scenes roles, such as sound, music and lighting, costumes, make‑up, set design, props, stage management, directing and producing.
The new Gough Family Theatre will be an exciting development within Ngā Toi – Performing Arts Centre, with upgraded facilities to match the incredible talents of our students.
Features of the Performing Arts Centre development include:
• Black Box Drama room and performance space;
• Ballet studio;
• Dance room;
• larger stage and backstage areas;
• enhanced sound and lighting;
• new designated areas for changing and storage;
• a larger entranceway and foyer with space for food facilities;
• greater comfort for the audience.
