Often funny, but also heartfelt and poignant, the unpretentiousness and rawness of the presentation is refreshingly wonderful to see and should not be missed.

Hobson Street Theatre Company
Hobson Street Theatre Company is an award-winning theatre company created in partnership with the Auckland City Mission - Te Tāpui Atawhai, with an aim to tell stories that are full of manawa (heart), wairua (soul) and whakakata (humour).
With all work devised by company members, the rōpū (group) has banned “sob stories” but instead explores ideas and stories of interest to them - from racism to friendship to haunted op shops.
The work can be raw, authentic, and riotous, but always aims to leave the audience feeling enlightened and uplifted.
This project has the wow factor, giving a voice to the homeless community through theatre. By providing a platform for people who have experienced homelessness to tell their stories, this project is a powerful tool to foster understanding and conversations with the public.
