We create engaging live performances influenced by our relationship to each other and our audience.

PlayShop is a Wellington-based performance company that aims to make spontaneous, thrilling theatre. We create opportunities for people to experience the joy of playful interaction, through theatre, storytelling, education, and improvisation. We are risk-takers, open to the potential of every moment, so that actor and audience share meaningful stories that arise from the present, and stay in memory for time to come.
