A Midsummer Night's Dream
 
TUESDAY JANUARY 28, 7:00PM
WEDNESDAY JANUARY 29, 7:00PM
FRIDAY JANUARY 31, 7:00PM
SATURDAY FEBRUARY 1, 7:00PM
 
Sweeping into Te Papaioea this summer, A Midsummer Night’s Dream will be a theatrical evening you won’t soon forget.

14 young creatives band together to create a fiery (and fairy) ensemble in Shakespeare’s fluid comedic romp- transformations and jealousies; feuds and fantasies!

The production, spearheaded by budding young theatre company, Shakespeare's North Productions, is an opportunity to provide a springboard for young people to explore and experience the ins and outs of putting a show together. Under expert guidance and a fair bit of experimentation, this one is set to be an uproarious midsummer night indeed!

Eli Hancock and Jacob Tū-Pene Waugh, Shakespeare’s North Productions co-founders, are no strangers to the Shakespeare scene - having performed at London’s Globe in 2023 as members of the SGCNZ New Zealand Young Shakespeare Company, and building their company from the ground up, tackling various plays to extreme levels of success. Boasting two sold-out seasons and rave reviews (and award nominations), both young Aotearoa creatives are set to explore the intricacies of A Midsummer Night’s Dream this summer- with sharing their knowledge and experience at the forefront of their intention.

Their eclectic ensemble is made up of young rangatahi from around Palmerston North. Hailing from four different schools, aged between 14 and 19, and with varying degrees of experience in the performing arts, these young people are brimming with ingenuity.

Rain of Animals

Spanning soulful originals to arrangements of classics and gems of rarities you wish you had discovered earlier, their sound is both new and old, unique in it's instrumental wizardry and musical integrity all at once. Steeped in a passion for acoustic music, the duo formed after an impromptu jam in a legendary Melbourne Irish bar, and in this vein have continued to perform, write and tour together since 2018.

Bluegrass, oldtime and traditional inspired original music. Songs and tunes on mandolin, fiddle, guitar and harmony vocals played with expressive and soulful virtuosity.

Susan O'Neill - Now In A Minute Tour
 
WEDNESDAY FEBRUARY 12, 8:00PM (Doors 7:30pm)
 
Susan has spent the last few years honing her craft as a solo performer. A songwriter of hidden depths, with a timeless voice that is equal parts balm and blowtorch, she is audacity personified, a free spirit, a real performer.

Since the release of the critically acclaimed collaboration album with Mick Flannery ‘In The Game’, Susan has toured extensively across Europe and North America, performing both with Mick and solo on headline tours, festival stages, and as an invited guest to an array of artists in cluding Phoebe Bridgers, Calexico, Jamie Cullum, Valerie June and The Teskey Brothers.

Described already by Clash as “Superb” and the Sunday Times as simply “Exquisite” alongside previous nominations for the Radio 1 ‘Best Female Folk Artist’ and the Choice Music Prize. Susan's new solo album Now in a Minute came out on September 20th 2024 and went straight to No. 1 on the Independent Album charts, described by Hotpress as an “Artist working at the top of her game..” and by Rolling Stone as 'An album of great intimacy'.

This is Susan's debut headline tour of New Zealand, having only performed once before in 2019 as part of the Sharon Shannon band at the WOMAD festival where she was a festival favourite.

The Big Bike Film Night

THURSDAY MARCH 6, 7PM

Let the good times ROLL!! The Big Bike Film Night is riding into town on its mission - bringing the best cycling short films from around the world together for you. Showcasing our 2025 collection that has everything a cycling-centric audience could want- action, drama, humour, and plenty of inspiration we're going to spin your wheels, crank your dial, and ring your bell!

There’s always an air of mystique about The Big Bike Film Night; we’re not your typical mainstream film festival, we’re left field and damn proud of it. Treasuring where a bike can take you, our annual curated collection of short bike films is devised and designed to delight the two-wheel devotee in celebrating the fun, the adventure and the inspiration that cycling enables.

We don’t reveal what films go into our collections; just like riding a bike –it’s the journey and not the destination that is important, but here are some insights...

The 2025 treasure chest of films includes: 
•    an exhilarating film that redefines what’s possible on a gravel bike on technically challenging terrains
•    a heartwarming documentary that explores the importance of getting outside, no matter where one is on life’s journey
•    an uplifting film that follows a group of local bike and snow enthusiasts from Wānaka, who have the desire to bring positive social change to their local community through an annual “bikepack” to the local Ski Resort with all their gear, a bit of “type 2” fun!
•    an inspiring mountain bike ride through back country Queenstown that is both poetic and meaningful
•    a life-changing experience for a group of friends who undertake a trip to a bothie (hut) in the Highlands of Scotland to show what can be achieved by people with disabilities in relation to having adventures
•    a film that celebrates the art of “winging it” and how travelling by bicycle and the power of exploration can obliterate preconceptions and contribute to understanding others 
•    and a classic Kiwi story of a young trailblazer participating in a gruelling six-day mountain bike rally, exploring his boundaries with his own signature entirely unsupported style -fueled by a penchant for chocolate milk
ALL in the mix!

These short films are a great reminder of why we love to ride our bike; with stories that captivate us, stories that make us think, and most importantly of all – inspiring us to get out and ride.  All celebrate the fun, adventure, and joy that cycling enables. So...listen to the voice inside you; it’s telling you to go. Grab your mates, GO ON… grab your bike and come along for the ride!!

THERAPY: A Musical Comedy
 
FRIDAY MARCH 7, 7:30PM
SATURDAY MARCH 8, 7:30PM
 
True crime fun-facts, realising you joined a cult and boldly announcing your intrusive thoughts. Yeah - we sing about these things.
 
THERAPY is making its way to The Globe hot off the back of sold out seasons in Dunedin and Christchurch, and following its debut at BATS for the 2025 New Zealand Fringe Festival.

This one (and a half) woman musical follows said woman's visits to therapy with the hope of a quick fix for dizzy-spells. She spends a few sessions avoiding serious questions, laughing about being human, and finally addressing something from her past she's ignored for too long. The show is based on real events, with script and score by Chelsea McRae, Mario Sadra de-Jong and Cody McRae.

“The audience’s laughter made it clear we had all put our foot in our mouths before.” – BROADWAY WORLD

“THERAPY celebrates the messy parts of personhood, holding space for the non-linearity of trauma and healing.” – THEATREVIEW

“THERAPY represents the tortuous voyage towards self discovery. Its air of whimsy makes the pill successfully palatable.” - OTAGO DAILY TIMES

Show runs for 60 minutes with no interval

R13 - Content warning: discusses mental illness, suicide, sexual assault, and uses strong language

Made possible with support from Palmerston North Creative Communities Scheme and University of Otago School of Performing Arts.
Presented by Good for Her Productions

Greg Johnson - Vine Street Stories 30th Anniversary
 
SUNDAY APRIL 27, 7:00PM
 
To coincide with the 30th Anniversary, Universal Music are releasing Vine Street Stories (1995) on vinyl for the first time, following on from the vinyl release this month of Johnson’s Seabreeze Motel (2000) double album.

The Vine Street Stories album is home to many of Johnson’s most enduring radio hits and live favourites, including Don’t Wait Another Day, You Stay Out Of Your Life, If I Swagger, Suddenly Cold, Come On, Let The Sun Beat Down, and Pleasure and Overdose.

The album was produced by Nigel Stone and largely recorded at Johnson’s long-time residence throughout the 1990s in Vine Street, St Mary’s Bay – a home in which he penned many of his most renowned songs, and hosted legendary parties which are still hazily talked about by the Auckland music scene today.

Says Johnson: “Digging deep in to the songs off Vine Street Stories is going to be a lot of fun, and it reminds me of those great years working hard and playing harder, before guitarist Ted Brown and I spread our wings with the move to the US.

“So many memories around the recording this album, including having to quickly brace the lounge floorboards from underneath, as they buckled under the weight of the grand piano rolled in to record If I Swagger.”

“This tour is a celebration, and alongside Vine Street Stories material we’ll throw in some other fan favourites as well. I can’t wait to see everyone again”.

Joining Greg on stage is his longtime bandmates; guitarist Ben King, drummer Wayne Bell, bassist Mark Hughes, and guest keyboardist Lisa Crawley returning from California.

Vine Street Stories is album number three of the 13 studio albums Johnson has released; a rich catalogue of much-loved by fans – including the critically-acclaimed recent releases, Tilt You Interior (2021) and Thunder In Fall (2024).
