Season 2 Opens Tonight!

Despite the Earthquake on Sunday shutting the university down and preventing Monday night's Tech rehearsal, Season 2 have pushed through and are ready for Opening Night tonight!

The three plays are looking great, and complement each other well as they all have a grounding in Absurdism. 

Book tickets to see the shows this week!

Due to the University closing because of safety concerns after the earthquake, the Season 2 teams were unable to do their Technical Rehearsal this evening. 

Hopefully they can push ahead and get everything done tomorrow, but we will keep you posted if we decided to push the opening night back to Thursday.

The Show Must Go On!

The director has Glandular Fever

One of the cast members got food poisoning. 

They're $90 over budget.

The costumes got locked in someone's laundry. 

They're probably over the time limit. 

They still need more sound assistants. 

They only have two more rehearsals til Opening Night. 

Halfway through Cue to Cue today the 6.5 earthquake hit. 

The cast of crew of Fold have made 'the show must go on' their motto for this week and will get the show on stage or die trying.

Fold director Bronwyn and her sound designer Rowan would like to thank Wellington band Roseneath Centennial Ragtime Band for allowing them to use one of their tracks in the show. 

Their song Bill Bailey is a fantastic track and is perfect for creating a specific atmosphere in certain parts of the show.

Season 1 is coming...

Season 1 (Andrew, Raicheal and Fern) have just completed their Tech weekend. 

It's all gone pretty smoothly, and they now only have a Monday night Technical Rehearsal and Tuesday night Dress Rehearsal to get through before Wednesday's OPENING NIGHT. 

You can bet the nerves will be kicking in pretty soon, if they haven't already!

It's the final stretch, break legs Season 1!
