Circa
"Circa Theatre, a professional theatre company founded in 1976 by a group of actors and directors, moved to its current site in 1994. Circa has performed hundreds of plays since it began and is a significant part of the thriving theatre scene in Wellington.
The building contains two performance spaces and a cafe/bar. The front façade is the last remaining portion of Westport Chambers, built on the other side of Cable Street, opposite its current location. The Westport Coal Company was formed in 1885 and was once the country's biggest coal suppliers. The façade was moved to this site and the rest of the building, designed by architect Graeme Anderson and theatre consultant Grant Tilly, was constructed around it."
