The Man Whose Mother was a Pirate - The Musical. Premier 2025

Tena Koutou, Nau mai, hoki mai!

In less than 24 hours, we shot up from 70% to 107%. That's over $2000 from the community!

From the briney-deep of my heart! Thank you all so much for your contributions. To the friends I know, to the people I am yet to meet and to those you kept their identity anonymous. It is especially strange to receive such generosity to the unknown people who donated.

Because of all of you, we are able to be secured in this production and to put on a show that will be affordable for families with children! At a time of financial hardship in Aotearoa and to see donations from $10 to $2000 it proves that community can make art possible and come alive!

We will be attempting a stretch goal of $10,000 and this money will go solely towards helping pay our artists a closer industry rate for their hard work to put on this show! So if you know anyone still keen to support this production, they still can!

On behalf of the Entire Pirate team, our Director Sara Brodie and Producer Jackson Cordery. A massive thank you. 

I never would have dreamed we could take this show from a little 2023 Fringe Pub performance to across the Road at the Hannah Playhouse so soon. You've all made my Piraty-musical dreams come true.
