Curtain comes down on Porirua theatre
There are no door sales at Porirua Little Theatre's former home.
After years of consultation, legal manoeuvres, failed fundraising attempts and an avalanche of public conjecture, the council finally succeeded in getting approval to demolish the theatre which has been a focal point in the bay since 1943.
With demolition looming – likely to be by year’s end – a heritage consultant will be brought in to assess any features that could be preserved, which could include the ceiling trusses.
The Porirua City Council is asking for the public's input into what the commemorative park, set to replace the soon-to-be demolished US Marines Hall in TÄ«tahi Bay, should include.
