We produce four shows a year. Usually, this includes a new kiwi comedy, a classic, and play based on a television series or a popular modern comedy.
2021 Shows!
My Inlaws are Outlaws |10 - 27 March 2021
Annie discovers her in-laws are outlaws... and her mother in-law has hired a mad group of assassins to kill her! How will Annie, a mild mannered Librarian, outwit the best of the Italian, Russian and Irish contract killers? This is outrageous; laugh out loud comedy at its best.
How To Train Your Husband | 17 June - 3 July 2021
This madcap comedy addresses an issue close to every woman's heart –how to train your husband! Sound impossible? Not when you have a legendary Husband Trainer living right next door. The play follows the adventures of three generations of the Smith family as they attempt to turn their men into fully trained members of the opposite sex. Nothing quite goes according to plan and the result is a hilarious comedy with plenty of unexpected twists and turns.
Classic / Murder Mystery TBC | 9 - 25 September 2021
Our annual Classic and/or Murder Mystery will be staged in September. The show is yet to be confirmed.
Christmas Can Be Murder! | 18 November - 4 December 2021
The latest comedy by Devon Williamson. For the past six years, Brett has had to spend Christmas single-handedly managing his monstrously difficult mother while keeping the truth from her that her favourite son, Simon, is not a successful businessman overseas but is in jail. This Christmas Brett plans to skip town and leave Mum with the newly released Simon. Unfortunately, for the hapless Brett, nothing comes easy and he finds himself trapped in his mother’s apartment with the mob mistaking him for Simon and calling in prison protection debts. Will Brett be able to keep Simon’s secret, appease the murderous mob, and keep his mother from driving him completely mad? He’s going to try!
