@aucklandtheatreco just announced their 2027 programme, including The Boy from Vaiala by the incredibly talented @victorrodger!

The highly unlikely but utterly faaabulous story of Pasi.

Father of three, maître d’ to the stars, founder of an iconic drag bar, always fabulous, Pasi Daniells Silva was a character born for the big stage. He was a raconteur of tall tales, his dancing was full of flair and his presence was larger than life.

The Boy from Vaiala is presented as part of Creative New Zealand’s Festival Commissioning & Presentation Fund, managed by PANNZ, in collaboration between Auckland Theatre Company, FCC, Te Ahurei Toi o Tāmaki Auckland Arts Festival.

See it from 2 – 14 March 2027 at the ASB Waterfront Theatre.

Single tickets are on sale from 19 October at https://www.atc.co.nz/whats-on/2027-season/the-boy-from-vaiala by @performingartsnetworknz

A new chapter for FAME alum @tupelualua

The Sāmoan dance practitioner, choreographer, producer and founder of @lemoanaarts has been announced as Basement Theatre’s Spring Time & Space Resident for 2026.

It follows a busy year for Tupe, including taking Tupua Tigafua’s Shel We to @brisbanefestival in September as Producer and Tour Manager.

Tupe, who received a PANNZ FAME Mid-Career Award in 2022, will use the Basement residency to begin developing a deeply personal new work exploring who her dad was before he became her dad and, for the first time, putting script development at the centre of her practice.

We love seeing where the mahi goes next. Tupe will be in residence at @basementspace from 8–14 November by @performingartsnetworknz

After touring with PANNZ earlier this year, we’re thrilled to see @bingeculture’s Werewolf continue to spook and delight audiences across the motu and beyond! 🐺

Inspired by the classic game of deception, Werewolf is a gripping blend of thriller and comedy that pulls you into an immersive world of suspicion, survival, and uneasy laughter.

See it at the @hbartsfestival on 9 – 10 October, the @nelson_arts_festival on 26 October, at the Sir Howard Morrison Centre, Rotorua on 29 October and at @qtheatre Tāmaki Makaurau on 16 – 20 December.

Love seeing @trickofthelightnz Suitcase Show out in the world and selling out their Copenhagen season.

Next stop is @teaterkatapult in Aarhus, another lovely PANNZ connection. Torben Dahl came out to PANNZ Arts Market the year before last, and we’re looking forward to hopefully welcoming him back to the Market again in 2027 (1 - 4 March in Tāmaki Makaurau)

A great example of the international relationships that begin at the Market and keep growing.
