OUR VENUE

Overview of NBS Theatre's spaces...

Auditorium


The Auditorium at the NBS Theatre is the perfect place for any large event you may have planned. Whether its a full theatrical production, a concert, a school reunion, an awards ceremony, or even a corporate dinner, we’ve got you covered at the NBS Theatre Auditorium. The Auditorium can seat up to 405, but is normally set up to seat 359. Planning a banquet? Why not have it at the NBS Theatre? You can seat your guests on the stage, and if you need some more room we can remove the first three tiers of the seating to increase the flat floor area to accommodate a band perhaps, or just a dance floor, or both!

The Auditorium also has a 3-meter-wide cross-over to the back of the stage, a Green Room, two Dressing Rooms, backstage toilets and shower, and even a kitchen.


Bill Moffitt Cinema


The Bill Moffitt Cinema at the NBS Theatre seats 55 and is the ultimate in digital cinema technology. Watch the latest blockbuster releases in higher than high definition (yes the image is clearer than 1080iHD!) thanks to the NEC DLP projector, with an awesome 7.2 surround sound system powered by Pioneer with Hypacoustic speakers, digital 3D powered by Xpand, with the whole system tied together with DigitAll automation, and ultimately powered by a Doremi Digital Cinema Server. So whether your after a comedy, action, drama or any of the genres in between, we’ll have it for you in the Cinema at the NBS Theatre. The Bill Moffitt Cinema is proudly sponsored by Buller Electricity Limited.

Fred Gregory Screen Room


The Fred Gregory Screen Room at the NBS Theatre is the perfect place to settle in and watch a good Art House or Foreign Film. With only 18 seats, including 2 two-seater couches, the Screen Room is a small cosy intimate cinema, but it still delivers on quality with its own 5.1 surround sound system powered by Pioneer with Hypacoustic speakers and a Panasonic High Definition projector. The seating of the screen room can be increased to a maximum of 22 seats. The Fred Gregory Screen Room is proudly sponsored by Buller Electricity Limited.

Planning a birthday party but not sure what to do with the kids?? Why not hire the Screen Room? We’ll set up the PS3, the sound system and the projector.
