A Legacy of Support: Harmans Lawyers and The Court Theatre
For over two decades Harmans has been a proud sponsor of The Court Theatre, Christchurch’s premiere venue for performing arts. Harmans’ commitment to supporting the arts stems from the belief that culture plays an essential role in a vibrant and thriving community. As the arts enrich our lives and shape the soul of a city, Harmans has been privileged to stand alongside The Court Theatre through its many milestones, challenges and triumphs.
The partnership between Harmans and The Court Theatre has been a journey marked by resilience, growth and shared passion for the arts. In the aftermath of the devastating 2011 Christchurch earthquakes, when the city’s cultural scene faced unprecedented challenges, The Court Theatre was forced to find temporary shelter. As a firm, Harmans recognised that the arts were not just an enjoyment but a cornerstone of community spirit and identity, and so continued to support The Court Theatre even during its most uncertain times.
Fast forward a decade, Harmans continues their support with great pride as The Court Theatre returns to the heart of Christchurch’s Central City. Harmans is privileged to be sponsors of the very first show in the Theatre’s new home, The End of the Golden Weather, written by one of the country’s most celebrated playwrights, Bruce Mason.
This return not only breathes new life into the city’s cultural scene but also signals a positive step towards rebuilding and strengthening the social and artistic fabric
of the Central City.
As Harmans’ Managing Partner, Mark Sherry, reflects: “Our partnership with The Court Theatre is a testament to our deep commitment to supporting the cultural life of Christchurch. Just as we stand by our clients, offering guidance and stability during challenging times, we are proud to support The Court Theatre in its ongoing journey. The arts are an essential part of what makes a community strong, and we are honoured to be part of this remarkable chapter in their story.”
The arts, much like the legal landscape, have an ability to shape society, reflect human experiences and serve as a means of expression and interpretation. Harmans’ partnership with The Court Theatre remains a proud chapter in their ongoing commitment to fostering creativity and culture in the community.
Harmans are proud to sponsor The Court Theatre’s first show back in the city – The End of The Golden Weather
