Raun Raun Theatre
A well-known folk theatre company in Papua New Guinea and its distinctive theatre building, blending traditional song and dance with contemporary drama.
The Raun Raun Theatre Company was founded in 1975. It is known for touring village performances and for adapting traditional Highlands stories and songs into contemporary drama, and it has performed overseas. The theatre building follows the traditional Highlands house style, with a timber frame and thatched roof. It stands out in central Goroka and is worth seeing in its own right. Performances are irregular. During the Goroka Show, or through a local hotel, you can ask whether there are any shows, rehearsals or cultural events. It's in the town centre, a short walk or taxi ride away, and can be combined with the market and the museum for a half-day city tour.
