The PumpHouse Theatre Open Day

You are warmly invited to our first annual open day at The PumpHouse Theatre.

Take a free tour backstage and learn the secrets of The PumpHouse – see where the actors get ready and where the technical crew stay hidden from view. After a tour, stroll through market stalls or grab something to eat from the French Rendez-Vous Café or our selection of food trucks. There will also be an array of local entertainers performing throughout the day.

The PumpHouse Theatre open day is a free, family-friendly event not to be missed.

Admission: FREE

 
Encore Theatre Collective is proud to present a dazzling new production of Seussical The Musical, based on the immortal works of Dr Seuss. Seussical brings to life many infamous and well-loved Dr Seuss characters, including Horton the Elephant, Gertrude McFuzz, Mayzie La Bird and, of course, the Cat in the Hat. These characters and stories weave together in a whimsical and wacky musical extravaganza, played out against an uplifting score, and highlighting the show’s universal messages of love and acceptance – reminding us all that “a person’s a person, no matter how small.”

Since launching in 2019, Encore Theatre Collective has made an incredible mark on the Auckland theatre scene and redefined the standard of youth theatre in New Zealand. Hot on the heels of their sold-out season of Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Cinderella, the June season of Seussical features 120 of the country’s finest young talent, ranging in age from 9-23.

With spectacular choreography, unbelievable production design, and slick vocals, Encore Theatre Collective’s Seussical The Musical is the theatrical offering of 2021 that you will not want to miss!
