The early committee was led from 1942 until 1949 by Robert Stead, he was a member of the Communist Party and a carpenter and he also had worked with the London Unity Theatre before he came to New Zealand in 1939.

Many of the company members from Unity were part of forming both Downstage Theatre Downstage Thea ...
