A Final Curtain Call: Honouring the Legacy of Tim Bray Theatre Company

Tim Bray, QSM

It is with heartfelt gratitude and deep appreciation that we bid farewell to Tim Bray and the incredible Tim Bray Theatre Company (TBTC) as they close their curtains for the final time. Arohanui ki a Tim Bray and the entire TBTC whānau. You have brought an immeasurable amount of joy, talent, and entertainment to the community for decades, and we are so honoured to have been your home and a part of your journey.

Tim Bray Theatre Company has been an integral part of The PumpHouse Theatre’s history. Established in 1991, TBTC began performing at The PumpHouse in 2004 (with a bonus show in 1991!) Since then, they have delivered an astounding number of shows on our stage, sparking laughter, igniting imaginations, and bringing stories to life for thousands of tamariki and their whānau. Through their dedication to creating magical, heartfelt theatre, Tim Bray Theatre Company has shaped countless childhood memories and inspired generations of theatre lovers.

From their beautifully staged adaptations of classic tales to their original Aotearoa works, TBTC has set the standard for excellence in children’s theatre. It’s hard to imagine The PumpHouse without the joyful sounds of young audiences responding with delight to the enchanting world that TBTC creates. Their productions have not just entertained but educated and empowered, fostering a love for the arts and cultivating a lifelong appreciation for storytelling.

Beyond the stage, the warmth and generosity of Tim Bray and his team have touched everyone who’s worked with them. Whether collaborating with local schools, nurturing budding talent, or supporting accessibility initiatives such as their sensory-friendly performances, TBTC has always gone above and beyond to ensure theatre is for everyone.

The PumpHouse Theatre has been privileged to be the home of Tim Bray Theatre Company for 20 wonderful years. Together, we’ve celebrated milestones, overcome challenges, and created unforgettable memories. The sparkle that Tim Bray Theatre Company brings to The PumpHouse is irreplaceable, and their legacy will forever be a cherished part of our story.

Hairy Maclary, 2012

To Tim Bray and the TBTC whānau, thank you for your immense contribution to our community and for trusting us to be part of your incredible journey. While we will dearly miss seeing your artistry grace our stage, we hold you in our hearts and send our deepest aroha as you close this chapter. Your magic and impact will never be forgotten.

Love always and forever, The PumpHouse Theatre Whānau x
