The Grange Theatre, nestled within the vibrant and dynamic Middleton Grange School in Christchurch, New Zealand, stands as a beacon of artistic expression and cultural engagement. Inaugurated as a fulfilment of a long-cherished dream initiated in 1996, this theatre marks a significant milestone in our school’s history, highlighting our commitment to fostering excellence in Drama, Music, Dance, Kapa Haka & Pasifika Culture.The construction of the theatre coincided with the 2011 Christchurch earthquakes, resulting in the venue becoming extremely popular at its launch. The theatre is now the go-to place for many cultural, dance and professional organisations.
