An Audience with Sir Sam Neill, Fundraiser at Circa Theatre - 7pm Sunday 22 Feb
In conversation with Ian Fraser
Join us for a rare and intimate evening with one of Aotearoa’s most celebrated performers. As Circa marks its 50th anniversary, we are honoured to welcome Sir Sam Neill back to the theatre where he first appeared in 1976 in Juno and the Paycock.
In conversation with broadcaster and writer Ian Fraser, Sir Sam will reflect on his extraordinary career spanning more than 150 film, television and documentary roles; his early life in Christchurch; his deep commitment to environmental advocacy; and his enduring connection to Aotearoa.
This special one-night-only event is a fundraiser for the Theatre Artists Charitable Trust (TACT), supporting the next generation of theatre-makers to build sustainable careers and continue creating world-class work in Wellington.

Poll: Are you still heading to your local for your caffeine fix, or has the $$ changed your habits? ☕
Wellington’s identity is built on its cafe culture, but with costs climbing, that culture is under pressure. We’ve seen the headlines about recent closures, and it’s a tough pill to swallow along with a $6+ coffee.
We all want our favourite spots to stay open, but we also have to balance our own budgets ⚖️
We want to know: How are you handling the "coffee math" in 2026? Are you still heading to your local for a chat and a caffeine fix, or has the cost of living changed your habits?
