Globe Theatre

The Globe is where New Zealand's best known poet, James K Baxter, had his first plays produced. This 'theatre in a house' was created in 1961 by Patric and Rosalie Carey when they extended the living room of their house in London Street into an auditorium, converting it into a small, 30 seat theatre which they called The Globe. This was later modified into the 80 seat theatre which exists today.
