Celebrating International Artist Day at The PumpHouse Theatre!

This International Artist Day, we’re taking a moment to shine the spotlight on some of the local artists, theatre companies, and community groups that make The PumpHouse Theatre the vibrant, creative space it is today. While International Artist Day often celebrates well-known creatives, we want to turn the focus towards the hardworking, passionate people in our community who bring theatre to life on our stage.

At The PumpHouse, we are lucky to host a wide variety of performances, from cutting-edge dramas to family-friendly shows and everything in between. Our local artists pour their hearts into each production, creating experiences that resonate deeply with audiences.

How You Can Support Our Local Artists

Here are a few simple ways you can uplift and celebrate our local theatre and community groups:

1. Attend a Show! There’s nothing quite like the magic of live theatre! Check out the events calendar on The PumpHouse Theatre website and make plans to see a local production. Your ticket purchase directly supports the artists involved.
2. Volunteer Your Time! Many theatre groups rely on volunteers to help behind the scenes. From ushering to assisting with costumes, there’s always a need for extra hands. Plus, you get to experience the creative process firsthand!
3. Leave a Review! If you’ve enjoyed a performance, let others know by leaving a review online. Positive feedback not only helps spread the word but also boosts the morale of the artists involved.
4. Follow & Share! Social media is a crucial platform for artists. Follow local theatre groups and individual artists on platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok. Share their posts, comment on their work, and spread the word about upcoming shows. Your engagement helps build momentum for their projects.
