Welcome to the Howick Little Theatre’s 2025 subscription series. When we greet you again in the New Year, we will have invested nearly $200,000 in the building, and you probably won’t even notice! Over the summer, the old tiled roof will have been replaced by running steel, with additional acoustic insulation. We couldn’t contemplate any such project without the valued support of our Showcard Subscriber family. A significant part of HLT’s success story can be attributed to owning our own building, so we must ensure it’s kept in optimum condition as the years roll by.

In 2025, you’ll find five wonderful plays to entertain, uplift, and challenge you. A Play Selection team spends many months devising the annual programme, and there are many influences on the choice of play. Over the years, we’ve won your support through the quality and variety of our productions, and I hope you will find the coming year full of similar experiences.

In 2025, Howick Little Theatre is also honoured to have Jennifer Ward-Lealand, one of New Zealand’s leading theatre practitioners, as our esteemed Patron.

I look forward to seeing you all again.

Laurie Mills
President
