BATS Loves You! - This Week at BATS

Things are hotting up at BATS as we gear up for the 2011 Fringe Festival. BATS is (once again) the hub of the Fringe with 13 shows over the 2 week Festival. Check out the BATS website for details and start your planning!

In the meantime we have two openings this week - The Love of Your Life on Tuesday and Broken China on Saturday. Both these shows are playing for strictly limited seasons, so make sure you book yourselves in. Details of both shows below.

And the time has come for our long serving Technical and Facilities Manager Anneliese Mudge to move on. While we are incredibly sad to see her go after four amazing years at BATS, we are excited to think who could be filling her work boots! Check out the website for more details or email jim@bats.co.nz for a job description.

See you at the theatre!

The multi-award winning Almost a Bird Theatre Collective returns to BATS with their bold new work, a celebration of all of us who have ever felt trapped and looked for a way out.

From the makers of the acclaimed Wolf's Lair and direct from a sell-out season in Auckland.
