About the Partner Organisation 

Moresby Arts Theatre (MAT) has been actively contributing to the artistic and performance life of Port Moresby for over 112 years making it one of the longest running amateur theatres in the world. The theatre group was active throughout the second world war in a hall near the location of the ‘old’ Deloitte Tower in central Port Moresby. In 1974 the theatre moved to the current location, a large compound with a professional auditorium with foyer facilities. MAT has staged hundreds of productive years in all genres from Greek tragedy to musicals, pantomimes, co-hosted school productions. MAT began the highly successful Youth Arts in 2004 through 2009 then 2016 - 2024.

MAT stages live performance serving the whole theatre-going public the theatre compound is host to the monthly craft market featuring artisans and performers. MAT also implements a large Youth Arts Programme (YAP) School children from 15 local schools in the National Capital District from the annual six-week programme along with an Intensive Acting facilitated by NIDA and associated youth performances.
