As part of Auckland Architecture Week 2015, Interior magazine and Resene present a heritage tour through the St James Theatre in Auckland on Thursday 24 September.

The St James Theatre Auckland has a storied past, built in 1928 and designed by prolific theatre architect Henry Eli White. The stage has hosted such lumanaires as Laurence Olivier, Vivian Leigh, Miles Davis, James Brown, Kanye West and the White Stripes. 

Taking place from 12.15 to 1.45pm, the behind-the-scenes tour and talk is presented by George Farrant, Auckland Council principal heritage advisor, and Steve Bielby from Auckland Notable Properties Trust.

The tour will look at the who, why and how of this multi-million heritage refurbishment. Refreshments and light snacks will be served free of charge to all ticket holders.

This is now a sold out event! We look forward to seeing ticket holders at the St James on Thursday 24 September.
