Now on:

'Couch' by Stayci Taylor, Season: Tuesday 5 ­ Saturday 9 July Time: 7pm, plus 3pm on Saturday 9 July only Tickets: $15 full / $12 concession

A hilarious journey with a karaoke queen, a checkout chick and an agoraphobic slattern as they question their own existence through the lenses of historical philosophers. Realities collide and theories are challenged when religion comes knocking.

Throw yourself into this colourfully camp world where everything and nothing is what it seems and music is the 'chicken soup' for the soul.

Directed by Sue Ott Rowlands

'Bouncing with Billie' Season: Thursday 7 ­ Saturday 16 July (no show Sunday/Monday) Time: 9pm Tickets: $15 full / $12 concession

Theatre Militia (at BATS in 2004) present a new devised work based on the life of Wellington artist/poet Fergus Collinson. A fragmented portrait of one of the city¹s most unique personalities, combining poetry and sign language, media and monologue in its exploration of disability, sexuality and the role of the artist in New Zealand.
