Making Theatre for the Other since 1989

Tēnā koe! Haere mai! Established in 1989 by Jim Moriarty and Jerry Banse, Te Rākau is a Wellington based Māori theatre trust that works in schools, prisons, Marae, rural communities, and youth justice residencies around Aotearoa-New Zealand. Through our Theatre Marae programme we collaborate with communities to create and present high quality and socially significant theatre works which resonate culturally, therapeutically, and artistically for audience members and participants alike.
