Welcome

Established in 1954, Howick Little Theatre is one of Auckland's leading community theatre groups and a leading company in New Zealand. Each year we present a season of five plays, many of them premieres, to thousands of people from all over Auckland and various parts of the North Island.

Looking to Fundraise?

If you want to fundraise or socialise, make a PlayDate with us now. Buying a performance of a play has proven a lucrative fundraising option. In the past six years close to $85,000 has been made by groups taking advantage of HLT's PlayDate promotion. Eight groups took up the package in 2011, generating more than $10,000 for the local community.

Drama Classes

Looking for drama classes in Auckland? Why not try something new? Separate drama classes for adults and teenagers are held on Monday nights with tutor Ben Crowder. For children aged six years and over we offer drama classes on Tuesdays with tutor Aidee Walker. Click here for details.
