As we settle into more autumnal weather, the theatre is looking more and more like a cozy haven to hide away for an evening of entertainment. We still have a few Auckland Fringe shows for you to enjoy at the beginning of the month, and some rad music and dance events coming up.

2nd to 3rd March, a group of hip young improvisors – Improverished - will randomly generate a brand new fairytale and then perform it right before your very eyes in their new show, Random Fairytale Generator.

The much anticipated, thought-provoking story Aroha is a Māori is the final show in our Auckland Fringe programme. How Māori do you have to be, to be a Māori? Aroha is one of those perky girls who is so enthusiastic and proud of her Māori heritage, she wears it on her sleeve. Come for a laugh as we explore this topical subject through Aroha’s unrealistically, idealistic, and naive perspective. A new play by Kahurangi Carter, which runs 4th – 6th March.

One of Auckland’s most eclectic bands on the scene, The RVMES, are coming to rock in our beautiful amphitheatre on March 19th to kick off their third North Island tour, and to celebrate the release of their new album ‘Lifetime’. Joined by some amazing support acts, you will be treated to an evening of soul-blues, rock n’ roll through to spicy Middle Eastern European melodies.

Brace yourselves Led Zeppelin fans… we have the gig of the year for you on March 20th! Lead Zipline is a collaboration of world class music session artists paying tribute to one of the greatest bands of all time. They have meticulously ensured an offering that sounds like the genuine article, having studied note-by-note the complex grooves, dynamic feels and textures of the actual masters that were Led Zeppelin.

Wrapping up the month nicely, we are again joined by Altitude Pole North Shore on March 28th who will provide a night of entertainment in their show The Classics, which will showcase the talents of their students and tutors.

Stay tuned for much excitement next month, as we delve into a season of A Lion in the Meadow and Other Stories by Margaret Mahy (10th April - 1st May).

Catch you at the theatre soon! Arohanui.
