World-renowned New Zealand chef Peter Gordon ONZM will prepare a whānau style three-course fundraising dinner to support one of the longest-running theatre companies in Aotearoa, Massive Theatre Company.
This unforgettable evening of celebration will feature entertainment by award-winning comedian Kura Forrester, an arts & culture quiz, and fabulous auction items up for grabs – with all proceeds going towards supporting Massive’s ongoing mahi in the arts community; which includes dozens of free annual workshops for young people and countless hours of professional development for emerging and professional artists.
Expect laughs and captured moments of what Massive means to the performing arts community, in the company of Massive’s current members, which include Beulah Koale (Tinā, Hawaii Five-0), Dominic Ona-Ariki (One Lane Bridge), Bubbah (Tina from Turners) and Scotty Cotter (Dead Ahead). As well as many more.
"This is more than a fundraiser — it’s a chance to celebrate the massive impact this company has had on so many lives. We're a whānau opening our doors to share food, stories, and what Massive means to people. After 34 years of our company, we’re inviting you to celebrate the past and look forward to the future with our first ever fundraising event.” - Sam Scott MNZM, Founder/Artistic Director
