Want to put your show on at BATS?
We want to hear about it!
BATS programme runs seasonally 4 times a year. We understand that this format may not suit every artist or there may be gaps in our programme we’re eager to fill, so we warmly welcome pitches year-round through this form.
Kiwi-Filipino comedy veteran James Roque serves up an hour of his trademark sweet-and-salty stand-up.
A delightful, language-lean theatre work for children aged 4-8 years, The Home Inside follows young Winifred on a journey of self-discovery and emotional resilience.
Two very sad divas taking it out on one another amongst the apple trees.
From a gorgeous three level repurposed historic building we nurture creative talent and showcase exciting new NZ performance. Our buzzing year-round programme is an alternative mash-up of theatre, dance, improv, stand-up, and experimental work.
We partner in the development of exciting and bold performance. Through the meeting of digital and live art, bolstering BATS as a hub of creativity and showcasing diverse festival activity we support career sustainability and wellbeing for all.
We aim to make visiting BATS as easy as possible for everyone. If you need support with access, audio, visual needs, or with reserving an easy access seat in the theatre we encourage you to contact us prior to your visit and discuss your individual needs with our friendly Box Office team.
Putting on a show at BATS is a pretty sweet deal. We spend more supporting our shows than we make back with our low venue fees. That’s alright by us though, we exist to support emerging artists and showcase new NZ performance!
