Auckland’s Q Theatre appoints New Chief Executive

The Q Theatre Ltd Board has announced the appointment of their new Chief Executive, Greg Innes.

Innes joins the team from his most recent roles as General Manager of The New Zealand Dance Company, and as a consultant for Horwath HTL where he worked on business feasibility studies for a wide range of new venues in the theatre, event, and convention sectors.

These studies included a new Whangarei event and performance facility, the feasibility of a significant redevelopment of the Sir Howard Morrison Performing Arts Centre in Rotorua, several business cases for regional performing venues in locations such as Hamilton and Tauranga, and the new Wellington Convention Centre.

Previously, from 1994 until 2010, he was the Chief Executive of the Aotea Centre Board of Management, during which he engaged deeply in the redevelopment and restoration of both the Auckland Town Hall and The Civic Theatre.

The Q Theatre Ltd Board has also acknowledged Sarah Graham in her role as interim General Manager and her team who steered the venue through uncertain times, working hard to put Q back on stable footing.

This included the achievement of raising over $160,000 with their Help Q Get Through fundraising campaign.
