For the past decade, the society has rehearsed and performed two out of three shows a year at the Wallace Development Company Theatre on Centennial Drive. However, due to housing development plans for the land, the theatre and most of the surrounding former Massey University buildings will soon be demolished.
Act Three is rapt to have found an ideal new location on The Square that it has transformed to suit its needs, including building a 160m2 sprung dance floor.
“None of this would have been possible without dozens of our members volunteering their time, skills and equipment - all of whom have day jobs as well. Having a bespoke rehearsal space is crucial for our society to continue to put on shows of a quality that rival anywhere else in the country,” Nagy says.
We Will Rock You director Phil Anstis says the journey to get the show onstage, which includes all Queen’s smash hits, has been a rollercoaster and he’s grateful the board decided to give it one more go this year.
“After three lots of auditions and rehearsal periods, we’re back into it again with close to half the original cast and renewed energy in our fantastic new rehearsal space.”
