Bill Sheat, the man who said no to Peter Jackson


His career in the arts spanned more than 60 years and in that time he was involved with just about every aspect of the performing arts in Wellington.
He played a leading role in the construction of the Hannah Playhouse (which later became Downstage), chaired the Embassy Theatre Trust and the New Zealand Film Festival Trust, and was influential in saving the Embassy Theatre and Opera House from the wrecking ball. Sheat was pivotal in setting up the New Zealand Film Commission, serving as its inaugural chair for seven years.

Wellington.Scoop
William (Bill) Sheat, who died in Lower Hutt this week, completed more than seven decades as an innovative leader in the creative arts, not only in Wellington but also throughout New Zealand.
His exceptional record included chairing national and regional performing arts institutions as well as spearheading the preservation of two of Wellington’s most iconic theatres. He advocated passionately for a living wage for artists, and provided pro bono legal advice to countless artists and organisations. Without his commitment and contribution, New Zealand’s cultural assets would not be what they are today.
Bill Sheat’s creative work began as a student in Wellington in 1948, when he joined the Victoria University Drama Club for which he produced and directed university extravaganzas and revues from 1949 till 1967. He was president from 1950 to 1953. ....
