Capital E is an award-winning facility based in the heart of Civic Square offering creative technology, professional theatre and event experiences for children, their families and schools. It’s a unique centre that provides a diverse range of fun and educational challenges in an exciting learning environment, including:

• an award-winning professional TV studio for children

• a diverse events programme
• theatre productions from the Capital E National Theatre for Children.

Expert tutors from the Creative Technology department run tailored programmes that are geared towards fast-paced, effective and fun learning.

In the OnTV Studio classes create their own news programme as a team using scripts they have written themselves or scripts provided, including programmes run jointly with the Museum of Wellington City and Sea and Wellington Zoo.

In the SoundHouse™ educators are on-hand to help classes use the latest technology to create their own music masterpieces, videos, games or animations.

Home to the Capital E National Theatre for Children, this dynamic theatre company is committed to creating theatre that tells unique New Zealand stories. Alongside seasons at home in Capital E’s McKenzie Theatre, they tour nationally as well as presenting in Australia and Asia, regularly playing to over 45,000 children annually.

All year round at Capital E you can visit Art Case, a gallery celebrating art both for children and by children, with works that range from paintings and collages to video and digital art. Children from all over New Zealand can participate. In 2011 there will be a new exhibition displayed every two months. For information on how to submit work contact Capital E.

Bringing together creative technology, theatre and an exciting events programme, from Diwali to Christmas, Capital E is proud to be an important part of many schools’ creative education plan. Each programme offers a comprehensive curriculum-linked teacher resource.
