Elsewhere in the Building! Friday 10th April 2026

THIS SHOW HAS ALREADY HAPPENED . . . but there’ll be more shows!
_________________________________________________________________________________

Fresh new improv format where you set the place!

Elsewhere in the Building is a friendly improv format that happens in different places within an overarching location suggested by the audience, creating a world of multiple scenes.

This is the first of a series of monthly shows WIT will be holding at Thistle Hall, the next will be Friday 1 May (Micetro), then on 5 June and 3 July (shows tba).

The Wellington Improvisation Troupe, aka WIT, is a member-based community theatre group and registered charity, teaching and performing in Wellington since 2003. Our theatre is made up on the spot, usually inspired by suggestions from the audience and each other. WIT players share a love of storytelling and work together as a team to inspire the audience, we’re sometimes serious, often hilarious and always totally unpredictable.

Pay-what-you-can tickets from $5, and door sales. Entrance to the Upstairs Hall is in Arthur St, or through the exhibition space entrance in Cuba Street.

You’re also very welcome to download our show poster, perhaps to print for your work noticeboard, or your fridge, or just to keep it for special.
