The PumpHouse

Springtime at the PumpHouse...blooming with good vibes

If you are anything like me, this season puts a little…spring…in my step! And working at The PumpHouse at this time of year is only amplifying that joy. Baby cygnets have already been spotted around Lake Pupuke, colourful flowers have started to bloom and the weather is ever so slightly warmer!

This September at The PumpHouse we celebrate a diverse range of shows and events for you to enjoy. We are practically bubbling with creative goodness! To kick off the month, we have a range of local artists coming to show off their talents. First off, we are joined by aerial, burlesque and dance artists Nocturne Sanctum, who bring their skills to our stage for one night only, in a spectacular performance of their show 'Umbra: Veil of the Moon'.

 A few days later, the North Shore Concert band takes over our stage with 'Frontiers: Past and future' – an exciting musical exploration. The band's concerts are very popular, and tickets are already flying out the door!

Rosmini College is next in line, and if you are a fan of TV shows Father Ted, The IT Crowd or The Black Books, you will LOVE Rosmini’s performance of 'The Lady Killers' – all written by Graham Linehan. This black comedy gold is sure to leave you with sore abs from all the laughter.

Speaking of abs… Did you know that Pole Dancing is regarded as one of the best forms of exercise? If you have ever been intrigued about the art of pole dance, come along and watch Altitude Pole North Shore showcase their talented students mid-September.

At the end of the month we have an absolute school holiday treat for the family… Yellow Diggers! If you or your littlies are fans of the books, then you will not want to miss the incredible Tim Bray Theatre Company’s performance of 'The Little Yellow Digger'. Tim Bray Theatre Company has been performing at our theatre for more than 15 years, and seeing them bring classic tales to life has become a school holiday tradition for many families.

And last, but definitely not least, we welcome you to join us for a 'Creative Talk' with playwright, director and producer Yabing Liu. 'Creative Talks' are held monthly at The PumpHouse Theatre and entry is free.

So what are you waiting for? Spring on down to your favourite heritage theatre – in the heart of Auckland's North Shore. Your support keeps this heart healthy and beating, and ensures we can continue to enrich the lives of many – so thank you for the continued love!
