This month we welcome Sneha to the team and say farewell to Sean.

Sean joined us at The PumpHouse in June 2015 and has worked as a casual venue assistant, technician, duty manager and box office team member.

He has also volunteered his technical skills for Tadpole Productions, Shoreside Theatre and Rosmini College over the years.

Sean flies down to Blenheim this weekend to join the Royal New Zealand Air Force where he’ll be training to become and Avionics Technician.

We wish Sean all the best – he has been a big part of The PumpHouse whānau.

സ്നേഹയ്ക്ക്  പമ്പ്ഹൌസിലേക്ക് സ്വാഗതം!!!

This month we welcome Sneha to the team.  She is joining us for three months as an intern while she completes a Post Graduate Business Administration diploma.

Sneha will be helping in the box office and supporting Julia with office admin duties.

We asked Sneha to share a few words about her experience so far:

Kia Ora,

I am Sneha – Intern at the PumpHouse Theatre for August- November.

I come from the southernmost part of India where things are entirely different when compared to New Zealand. I always wanted to see real theatres but was only able to see them in movies.

I was really excited when I got the internship at the PumpHouse Theatre. I knew I was going to see a real theatre at last and how things get done there, closely.

Watching someone perform live on the stage is entirely different and exciting than watching a movie in the movie theatre.

The friendly bunch of people at the PumpHouse Theatre is my go to for everything.

They have been really helpful during my tough days. They make me feel the workplace as my second home. So far it has been great!

Though Tiger is still shy around me- hope we will get along soon
