Salient: An Organ of Student Opinion At Victoria University College, Wellington, N. Z. Vol. 24, No. 4. 1961
[subsection]
From April 17 to the following Saturday, students and the public will have an opportunity for an advance peep at part of the new Student Union Building, and a foretaste of what the building is going to mean to them in the future.
The Drama Club is launching the Students' Union Theatre with a lively production of "Much Ado About Nothing" and hopes to be spared the inevitable Dom-type comment.
This theatre is the best of its type in Australasia, with a versatile apron stage, built-in cyclorama, electrically-controlled curtain, ample dressing-room and storage space, orchestra pit and New Zealand's first front-of-house lighting control.
From your point of view in the audience, you will find seats that accommodate themselves to any shape of buttock, and a first-rate view of the action wherever you are put (there are no pillars); every seat is a box seat both eye-and ear-wise; a whisper can be heard at the back.
