2026 Season
After an incredible 2025, Mana Little Theatre is back for 2026 with a fresh season of stories that celebrate the heart of our community.
Our first confirmed production is the spectacular Shakespeare in Love, a love letter to the stage itself. Whether you’re a fan of the Bard or just love a good romantic comedy, this is a show you won’t want to miss.
Â
We are currently putting the finishing touches on two additional shows for later in the year. We can’t wait to share the full details with you soon—stay tuned for updates as we prepare for another unforgettable year of local theatre in Wellington!
