As usual, the theatre is buzzing with excitement this August, with a lineup that's sure to chase away those mid-winter blues. Grab your calendar and make a date with The PumpHouse Theatre!

Get your mid-winter dose of comedy at Late Night Knife Fight on Friday 9 August at 9pm. This laugh-out-loud improv team battle show has become a staple in our Coal Bunker Studio space.

We're thrilled to host the Scouts and Guides from across Tāmaki Makaurau for a slice of good wholesome family fun with great music, dance, comedy, and youthful delight. Under The Stars is a family experience not to be missed and runs from 21-31 August.

Coming next month is the much-anticipated 'Taking Off' – a wickedly funny comedy by Roger Hall that trails four intrepid middle-aged Kiwi women as they set off on their big OE to Europe. The play is poignant, funny and sensitive. The characters are simultaneously terrified and exhilarated as they feel they are truly taking off.

Tadpole Productions has assembled a marvellous cast for this classic play – Jodie Dorday, Laura Hill, Darien Takle, and Louise Wallace. This great ensemble is directed by the experienced and talented Simon Prast, who brings out the quirks of the individuals, creating familiar and credible characters. Get in quick as this one is sure to sell out! The season runs from 5-15 September.

The PumpHouse has got you covered for entertainment this winter. See you at the theatre soon!
