Civic Theatre, Auckland
Charles Bohringer; William T. Leighton · Auckland, New Zealand · 1929
The Civic is an atmospheric theatre in which decorative interiors and lighting suggest a theatrical outdoor setting. Its urban frontage conceals a richly organized performance environment, offering a different architectural experience from the restrained public and commercial buildings around central Auckland. Visiting: The auditorium's starry 'atmospheric' ceiling can only be seen during performances or on occasional guided tours.
