Experience Auckland's Underground Arts Scene
Tucked away on Lower Greys Avenue, Basement Theatre is where Auckland’s most adventurous, original, and genre-bending live performances come to life. We’re an incubator for independent talent, and proudly showcase fresh, bold work from across the city, and around Aotearoa.
Whether you're looking for a world-premiere play, experimental dance, laugh-out-loud comedy, or something undefinable, our eclectic programming means there is always something new to discover. Every year, hundreds of artists grace our two stages, offering distinctly New Zealand stories.
More than just a theatre, Basement is a hub to bring people together. The atmosphere is warm, generous, and wildly social. Best of all? It’s completely budget-friendly. With cheap tickets and some of the most affordable bar prices in the CBD, Basement is the perfect destination for a date, a night out with friends, or just experiencing something completely outside the box.
Grab a drink, take a seat, and come witness history in the making.
