Prospect Park Productions has made the decision to close the company. While this will be a surprise to some, most of our community is well aware of how increasingly challenging and unsustainable the professional performing arts landscape has become. On a more positive note, we welcome the opportunity to focus on our arts practices and being relieved of the considerable administrative weight that running a professional theatre company of two entails.  

We wish to express our immense gratitude to everyone – from Ōtepoti and around the motu – who has worked with us through Prospect Park or Ōtepoti Theatre Lab, supported us, and attended one of our events over the past 8 years, whether that be by coming to a show or development reading, downloading and listening to podcasts, purchasing art and merchandise, or enrolling yourselves or your tamariki for workshops. In this regard, you will all be part of the company story. 

We officially close on Thursday 27th June 2024, but you will be able to purchase merchandise, reach us through the website, and our Prospect Park Productions emails until the end of July 2024.

Kā mihi nui, Emily Duncan and H-J Kilkelly
