Do you know anyone who's 'taken a seat' in the theatre?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Three organisations dedicated to improving the lives of the region’s residents - Creative Waikato, Sport Waikato and Community Waikato - are formally backing Hamilton’s new theatre.

And it is a case of “the three Waikatos” backing the theatre in a very literal fashion, with the names of the three community trusts soon to be adorning a plaque attached to three chairs in the 1300-seat facility.

Do you know anyone who's 'taken a seat' in the theatre? Tell us in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).

The Medieval Gardens will open next year at Hamilton Gardens, with much of the work already done.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
