Phobia Updates! 13.2.26

Kia ora!

Firstly; Thank you all so much, we really appreciate your generosity! We've got 6 days ahead of our Boosted closing AND Opening Night. That leaves us with $585 left to fund.

On our end; Rehearsals are full "go mode" ahead of production week beginning on Monday 16th. With the set working bee earlier this week, everything's coming together and we're so excited to share all our hard work! If you're interested in witnessing it all unfold, you can get your tickets Here!

 

We're noticing the creaks are all getting louder still? Surely it'll leave us be.

Ngā mihi maioha!

Phobia Updates! 03.02.2026

Kia ora!

Firstly; Thank you all! We are so grateful, 49% of the way there  and we couldn't have done this without your support! That leaves with 16 days remaining to raise the $870!

 

On our end; We're working hard in the rehearsal room and outside it's all hands on deck to finish our set and props were almost ready for opening! Our Marketing Manager Sienna has designed our gorgeous poster - keep an eye out for it around Pōneke.

Also; Tickets are on sale now Here!

 

Finally; If you have a spare 2 minutes, please consider sharing this boosted campaign link with friends and family. Every cent goes towards helping emerging theatre practitioners develop their skills and pull off an amazing show.

Ngā mihi maioha!

Updates! 24.01.26

Kia Ora Everyone!

Firstly; Thank you all, we couldn't have made it this far without all of your generosity! We've made it 20% of the way with 26 days to raise the remaining $1355. 

Second; If you have a spare 2 minutes, please consider sharing this boosted campaign link with friends and family. Every cent goes towards helping emerging theatre practitioners develop their skills and pull off an amazing show.

On our end; Rehearsals are still in full swing, we've started fight choreography and it's looking feisty! Our show's all starting to come together - tickets are on sale now too - Here!

Strangely, we've been noticing props being moved and post-it note scribbles appearing around the rehearsal room - lots of eye drawings, surely it will leave us be.

Ngā mihi maioha!

PHOTOSHOOT!! 19.01.26

Kia ora everyone!

Thanks for all the support thus far, we really appreciate it!

We've got exactly a month to hit the remaining 83% of our goal, and while we're hustling on this front, we also had a photoshoot.

We hope you like the documentation of Valerie (Sophie Jackson) and Henry (Alexi Halikias) alongside a few faces behind the voices on their forest picnic.

Ngā mihi maioha!

Thanks so much, we're so grateful our campaigns already 10% of the way - All of us at Phobia appreciate the support thus far. 

On our end; we've started rehearsals and as of today (yay!) will be starting blocking with Sophie and Alexi. We've been focusing on voice and accent work the past few weeks but expect some photos to begin appearing shortly!

We've also had a sound designer join our crew credits.
