Set under the stars of Matariki, this Aotearoa adaptation by Nī Dekkers-Reihana reimagines Nick Payne’s award-winning play through a te ao Māori lens.
An astrophysicist and a beekeeper meet at a barbeque, drawn together by curiosity and connection. Their relationship unfolds across infinite realities — blossoming, faltering, and transforming in ways both tender and devastating. At once intimate and expansive, Constellations explores the fragile balance between choice and fate, asking what changes when we shift the context of a love story.
Grounded in Aotearoa and alive with the spirit of renewal, this is a story that reminds us every moment contains infinite possibilities.

Things just got personnel. Dick and his band of generic employees are back. It’s time to restructure - ahem, again - with a completely new show of riotous musical sketch-comedy from the team that brought you the runaway 2024 hit, H.R. The Musical.
Eddie Carbone is a Brooklyn long-shoreman who works with his hands and lives by his own code. When he takes in two cousins straight off the boat, he offers them a roof and a shot at a better life.
