Let’s talk about theatre! Did you know that The PumpHouse has three spaces for performances? – the Genevieve Becroft Auditorium, the Amphitheatre, and the Coal Bunker Studio! Nestled perfectly next to Lake Pupuke and Killarney Park, it is a creative hub on the North Shore, attracting people of all ages, backgrounds and interests.

Doesn’t it sound like something you’d love to be a part of?! Well you can - as a Friend of the PumpHouse. You’ll join a community of artists and theatre-lovers and play a special role in supporting our vision to be a thriving arts, cultural and educational space for Auckland. Not to mention all the perks and benefits that come with being a Friend of the PumpHouse!

We also have an exciting opportunity to support both The PumpHouse and The Rose Centre with a fundraising screening of the new Shakespeare-inspired film, Ophelia, that is on limited release here in New Zealand. This film follows the story of Hamlet from Ophelia's perspective.
