Basement Theatre

@nzdodo @hotcity_akl @AklCouncil Shows are headed back inside! See our season here: basementtheatre.co.nz/whats-on But you can still enjoy a drink and a hangout in our outside space all year round x

We have had to make the heartbreaking decision to not platform any more shows for the remainder of 2021. We have laid out the range of factors that brought us to this decision and what this means for our current programme and the artists involved here: basementtheatre.co.nz/news/2021/10/1…

Pride Submissions at @Basementspace are now open! Basement's Programme continues to be an essential part of the Pride Programme, celebrating emerging artists from our diverse communities to showcase some brilliant works. Find out more and submit: basementtheatre.co.nz/for-artists

“Bring a spare pair of undies because you're going to get WET.” @PelenakekeBrown reviews Fala Muncher: a Pasifika, queer-led production. Joyful + poignant storytelling of queer identity, familial ties + wrestling with ourselves. @Basementspace pantograph-punch.com/posts/A-Review…

Friday at @Basementspace: No Homo: Queer Comedy! No Homo is serving up yet another lineup of hilarious queer talent, hosted by the terrific @JamesMustapic and headlined by Liv McKenzie! No Homo: Queer Comedy usually sells out so bookings are essential: aucklandpride.org.nz/no-homo-queer-…

This week at @Basementspace: @Chinaglezmx's Better Than Tacos! Explore the life of a Mexican migrant settling in New Zealand. Let China share these stories with you and discover what really is Better Than Tacos? More info & tickets: aucklandpride.org.nz/better-than-ta…

This show is going to be as good and maybe even better than Tacos! (a big call, but I stand by it). Hilarious and heartfelt observations from a Mexican in New Zealand, this week @Basementspace by @Chinaglezmx. Get your tix here: iticket.co.nz/events/2021/au…

@AkldTheatreCo @Basementspace @Miss_Canton remembers her own experience growing up Chinese in Aotearoa. "Where were those stories? Growing up in the world thinking you Maybe Don’t Exist isn’t an uncommon feeling for people with kaleidoscopic identities (see: The Diaaaaaspora)." pantograph-punch.com/posts/yang-you…

"Yang/Young/杨 dutifully lifts the tropes of the quintessential coming-of-age story with a contemporary, Gen-Z twist." Alice Canton responds to @AkldTheatreCo's newest play Yang/Young/杨 filled with witty emerging actors and crew. @Basementspace pantograph-punch.com/posts/yang-you…
