Step into a world where memory, family, and identity intertwine in Waiora Te Ūkaipō – The Homeland. Set against the stunning backdrop of Aotearoa, this powerful and deeply human story explores the search for belonging and the ties that bind us to our people and our place. Filled with warmth, humour, and emotional depth, Waiora offers audiences a rich theatrical experience that is both thought-provoking and uplifting. This is a journey that will stay with you long after the curtain falls.
As a volunteer-driven, nonprofit theatre company, our actors give everything to their performances — their time, their energy, their voices, and occasionally their dignity. What they currently don’t have is a dedicated backstage toilet. This means that during performances they must either:
-
Embark on a covert mission through public areas in partial costume,
-
Risk bumping into delighted (and slightly confused) patrons mid-interval, or
-
Demonstrate Olympic-level bladder control until curtain call.
-
While this certainly adds suspense, it’s not the kind we’re aiming for.
So here’s our heartfelt (and slightly crossed-legged) appeal:
We’re raising funds to install a proper backstage toilet for our hardworking cast and crew. A modest facility. A porcelain sanctuary. A small but mighty upgrade that will preserve theatrical illusion, protect period costumes from awkward lobby encounters, and support the comfort of the volunteers who bring stories to life on our stage.
If you’ve ever applauded a performance, laughed at a joke, shed a tear in the dark, or simply appreciate the magic of community theatre, please consider contributing to this very practical piece of stage infrastructure.
Help us keep the drama onstage — and the plumbing backstage. Give our artist a Throne of their Own!
