150th Anniversary Celebration Weekend

Amdram Whanganui turns 150 years old.

Amdram's 150th Reunion Weekend is set for Friday 29 November through to Sunday 01 December 2024

This will be a celebration of our theatre's rich history and vibrant community spirit. 

The event kicks off with a welcome reception at Amdram Theatre where past and present members can mingle, share stories and memories from productions spanning decades.

Saturday sees a range of activities including a tour of the Royal Whanganui Opera House, Amdram Theatre and an afternoon tea with a fashion parade and video presentation.

Our Gala Dinner at the prestigious Heritage House on Saturday evening will round off our formal celebrations and we are lucky enough to have as our guest speaker, Jennifer Ward-Lealand.  In the 2007 New Year’s Honours List, Jennifer was named an Officer of the New Zealand Order of Merit (ONZM) for services to theatre and the community. In 2018 she was named SPADA Industry Champion and in the 2019 New Year’s Honours List, she was named a Companion of the New Zealand Order of Merit (CNZM) for services to theatre, film and television and presented with a Woman of Influence Award (for arts and culture). Jennifer was named as the Kiwibank New Zealander of the Year 2020.

We would love to see as many of you there to celebrate this milestone.
