Summary

The Isaac Theatre Royal was originally built in 1908 with the foyer being added on in 1928. The building was badly damaged in the 2011 earthquakes in Christchurch. After extensive restoration the theatre was reopened in November 2014. There are improved facilities such as more accessible toilets, signage, counter services, seating and lifts throughout the building which has been restored with the aim of retaining its former grandeur whilst creating a modern theatre facility. The Social Enterprise World Forum will be using all areas of the theatre.
