BE INVOLVED

At Howick Little Theatre we value members as part of our theatre family and we encourage you to participate actively in this exciting community enterprise.

Every year we produce five plays and so there are plenty of places where you can offer your expertise.

You may want to act or direct.  Perhaps you have always wanted to be involved in a play but don’t know where to start? Working backstage is always a lot of fun. Are you artistic? Then set design and prop making, set construction and set painting, as well as organising set decor are areas that are important for every play. We always need a rehearsal prompt, lighting and sound designers and operators, wardrobe co-ordinators – both for sewing and for sourcing clothes for our productions. As you can see there is plenty to do. Read more in this Aucklander story.

We run a bar for each performance and have a roster of people keen to work on the bar. You may like to do that, or perhaps you would like meet and greet as the audience arrive, show people to their seats and be the front of house person who makes everyone feel welcome.

At Howick Little Theatre, you can be as involved as you want to be and,  like any good family home, there is always room for more. 

Join us. It will be the best decision you make today. 

Talk to us and if you have any questions email me: membership@hlt.org.nz
