Repertory Theatre

The Repertory Theatre at 146 Kilmore Street was one of Christchurch’s most architecturally distinctive interwar buildings, a 1929 Spanish Mission structure originally built as the Radiant Hall and later the home of the Canterbury Repertory Theatre Society for over eighty years. Demolished following the 2011 Canterbury earthquake, the building hosted decades of theatrical and musical life including productions directed by Ngaio Marsh and performances by leading Christchurch folk, jazz, and indie acts.
