We are so proud of our creative community which has really trooped through 2020 and all the challenges it has brought. Despite having many cancellations and postponements due to Covid-19, talented groups have still dedicated much of their time to the art of storytelling.

From magic to comedy, and children’s theatre to music, there’s something for everyone in these last few months of the year at The PumpHouse. Come and finally get your live theatre fix – you deserve it!

We have put a lot of thought into how we can keep people safe when they visit, and have created an environment where people are socially distanced from other groups, from the time they arrive to the time they leave.

Luckily, we have been able to operate during alert level 2.5 because we are a “controlled access business” (like cinemas and conference venues). The latest Covid-19 Health Order states that we can have up to 100 patrons in our venue, with 1m spacing between each group/bubble of up to 10 people. This means each booking is separated by the next by at least one empty row, and two empty seats. This allows us to seat roughly 70 people.

Our cleaning schedule has also been amplified, and we are taking much more care around our own personal health and hygiene.

To see what exciting shows and events we have coming up, keep a close eye on our website, www.pumphouse.co.nz – our line-up is ever-changing due to the nature of this year.

As always, stay safe and keep smiling!

Arohanui,

The PumpHouse Theatre team.
