About Marlborough Civic Theatre Trust

The Marlborough Civic Theatre Trust was formed as a non for profit organisation on 16th November 1974 following the demolition of His Majesty’s Theatre with the principal objective of establishing a new theatre for the Marlborough community.

After many years of research, planning and community fundraising, this dream was realised with the opening of a new theatre located in the former Farmers Department Store on Arthur St, Blenheim on the 15th February 1985.

The Trust also owns and operates two theatre related businesses: a ticketing franchise under the TicketDirect brand and a theatrical equipment hire company – Marlborough Light & Sound.
