From the critically acclaimed Ngā Rangatahi Toa comes a powerful theatre work that brings the experiences of Tāmaki Makaurau's rangatahi to life. Created in just one week, this raw and honest show features an ensemble guided by Aotearoa's top artists—Diggy Dupé, Laughton Kora, Karlos Saunders-Tunks of Kora, and Freshman Dance Crew—captivating the stage with waiata, rap, dance, and sound. Skillfully directed by Hadleigh Pouesi, this is an unmissable experience.

As we enter our third year in Loft in 2024, both our rangatahi and pou ārahi are excited to reunite the whānau, and put on a show like no other!

    H.R. The Musical

    A performance revue like you'll never get in an office tower! This cheeky number takes on the ridiculous and objectionable in the modern workplace in the form of the blues, rap, latin plainchant and more to see what meets expectations and what needs improvement.

    Camping

    Les and Fleur are a middle-aged couple at the end of their tether. Francis and Connie are newly-weds terrified of getting it on. They’ve double booked a romantic getaway at a kiwi bach in the middle of nowhere, but we’re not sure which is raging harder - the storm outside, or the hormones inside!

    Hysterical

    Fierce, feminist, and funny. Hysterical challenges the myth that women are too emotional with poetry that confronts body politics, sexism, and weeping in the supermarket.
