The show can go on at The PumpHouse Theatre! We are excited to reopen for small performances, workshops, filming, or rehearsals. Call us on 486 2386 or email info@pumphouse.co.nz and let’s talk.

How we have been staying creative during lockdown

Creative Talks Online

Many of you may have attended our Creative Talks evenings in the past. We are excited to announce that we have been able to add to our Creative Talks programme, with online interviews! Watch Mags Delaney interview interesting and creative people about their life, passions and more.

Monologue Collab Series

Members of our theatre community, from beginners to professional actors, non-actors, and sometimes even pets, are given part of a monologue to prepare and film. They have complete creative freedom on how to perform their part. We then edit it together and have a group of people from their own bubbles collaborating on a monologue together.

You can watch the Creative Talks & the Monologue Collab videos on our Facebook, YouTube, or website - www.pumphouse.co.nz

Can you help The PumpHouse?

The PumpHouse Theatre has been a place for artists and performers to share their stories with the community for over forty years, but we need income from performances to pay the bills. You could help keep The PumpHouse going by joining Friends of The PumpHouse, donating online or enquiring about hiring The PumpHouse for your upcoming event.

What we are doing to keep you and our team safe:

- We are disinfecting the entire theatre and all surfaces regularly, in addition to our regular cleaning cycles.
- All visitors to our theatre must sign in, for contact tracing purposes.
- We have plenty of hand santiser available for you to use.
- We have an acrylic screen in place to protect our box office staff and you from transmission of viruses.
- We are implementing social distancing in our theatre, including where people are seated in the theatre. Please note that all shows will meet the current rule of a 100-person limit.

What we expect and hope for from you:

- If you are feeling unwell, please return home and follow the Ministry of Health guidelines.
- Please practise social distancing in our building.
- To avoid any unnecessary contact, we will be going cashless at the box office, so please ensure you book tickets online or have your Eftpos or Credit Card ready to go.
- We will be asking you to show us your tickets rather than handing them to us.

We hope to see you at the theatre soon! Ngā mihi nui.
