Wellington sits at the southern end of the North Island, and the city is the practical base for anyone travelling from Auckland, Rotorua, Taupo, Hamilton, Tauranga, Napier or New Plymouth to reach the theatre. The Cable Street setting in Te Aro places it within the capital's central district, close to the waterfront. As a theatre, its identity rests on the performances staged within the museum complex rather than on any wider commercial operation.
