It’s happening whānau, we’re screening WORKMATES at Basement Theatre!

At this very special fundraiser, not only will you see “the film about Basement” at Basement… it’s gonna be in 4D!!! This immersive cinematic experience will feature special guests and interactive moments that will transport you to the “fictional” world of “The Crystal Palace”.

Workmates is a love-letter to the Tāmaki theatre community and to Basement Theatre by writer and actor Sophie Henderson and producer Sam Snedden. Much of the film is based on Sophie’s own experiences of running Basement, her friendship with her workmate Sam, and the “desperate things” they did to keep the space open.

Lucy and Tom are best mates running a tiny, broke theatre. When an accident forces them to shut down and Tom threatens to leave, Lucy realises she would do anything to save the theatre and keep her friend… who she might be in love with.

Just like The Crystal Palace, Basement Theatre needs some financial support too. For almost 18 years, Basement Theatre has been supporting Tāmaki’s artists, and we couldn’t have done it without the theatre community backing us. Tickets are $30 for the screening, and there is a + DONATION option if you would like to help fund Basement’s future.

Come celebrate Basement and reminisce on the crazy things that may or may not have happened to keep it open. 

Special thanks to our long-time supporters iTICKET and Behemoth for sponsoring the screening.
