Topic:   Memories

All the Best Movies were played there..this Theatre is so beautiful inside..even before the movie started I would be looking up at the stars, and the statues. Magnificent. I searched for Civic as I was hoping Movies were still being played here, and I haven't been home to NZ in years and was hoping to share this Magical Movie Place with my dearest Friend. Though I will still visit and be in awe of this Historical Beauty.

Topic:   Yanks in town

Hi, I am a film student from AUT. I am currently researching into creating a documentary about when the American Servicemen where in Auckland during the 1940s. My documentary will focus on The Civic Theatre and Freda Stark. I have already been in contact with Lenore Truscott, the only remaining Civic dancer. If anyone has any interesting stories of this period when the Yanks were in Town I would really love to hear from you! You can email me at Shani.bennett@hotmail.com or call me at 0211342480.

The passing of Alf Simmons, manager, closes the door on another chapter of the Civic Theatre. Maybe it's time to write the book?

Great Party. Lovely with Rona von Zalinsky being there - and surprise guest, film critic Leonard Maltin! A grand occasion.
