    THETA promotes the development of
    healthy attitudes and behaviours.

    Enabling young people to make informed lifestyle choices.

Welcome to THETA

Ma te whakatau, - ka mohio,

Ma te mohio - ka mārama,
Ma te mārama - ka matau,
Ma te matau - ka ora
(by discussion comes understanding, by understanding comes light, by light comes wisdom, by wisdom comes life everlasting)

Vision: Stronger resilient communities.

Mission: The Theatre in Health Education Trust (THETA) uses applied theatre to promote well-being, equity, self-determination and to inform and strengthen communities.

The Theatre in Health Education Trust provides innovative and challenging health education programmes to the rangatahi/youth of Aotearoa-New Zealand through the experiential medium of theatre.

Our interactive theatre-based programmes use a combination of traditional theatre, educational drama, structured role play and decision-making activities to engage students in the exploration of issues relevant to their lives.

Become a Trustee:

THETA is expanding to produce programmes for a wide variety of communities.  We employ two full time staff, and contract actor/facilitators to tour for part of the year. THETA is looking for additional trustees to help guide the organisation through a period of growth and expansion.  We are particularly interested in anyone with an interest and experience in:

-       Businesses growth and development

-       Celebrating and enhancing Pasifika resilience

-       Youth advocacy

-       Community development

-       Rainbow community

-       Applied theatre

-       Health and wellness of communities

-       Te Ao Māori

What do we offer:

-       The opportunity to work collaboratively with experts from a variety of fields

-       The chance to expand your governance experience

-       The opportunity to apply your skills to improve outcomes for our communities

-       Reimbursement for your time
