Tim Bray Theatre Company 37 Fred Thomas Drive, Takapuna, Auckland 0622

"Tim Bray's "The Whale Rider" was an absolute delight to watch and we got a lot more than we bargained for! We simply loved how puppetry was incorporated and how the actors worked them with such ease. The stage settings, the music and choir, was all top notch and the icing on the cake for us was getting to hear author Witi Ihimaera speak!"

"I just wanted to say a massive thank you for creating a sensory relaxed session for the lion in the meadow show. My 17 Y/O brother has severe autism and often can’t sit still so it is so stressful taking him to any type of show as he always gets told off for standing up and jumping around. We loved the show so much and I know he did too as it was so relaxing and easy for him as he could just be himself."

"My young daughter’s first theatre experiences! She was spellbound each time she has attended, both times before she could even walk. While the kids most definitely loved the performances there is a lot for the adults to enjoy also! The acting is superb and the sets very clever. I love the fact that provision is made for special needs children and I purchased gift seats on behalf of my family for Xmas presents. I look forward to more performances!"

"My 6 year old son has attended Tim Bray Youth Theatre for 18 months. The class is the highlight of his week. The class tutors are excellent. The classes are great because they encourage freedom of expression but they also require the children to be reflective and disciplined yet they always have fun. Learning scripts is good for the child's memory. Another advantage of the class is that the child's self confidence is given a boost when they find the courage to stand up on stage and perform in front of an audience. My son was given the wonderful opportunity of playing an Elf in the Tim Bray Christmas Production of "The Santa Claus Show" at the Pumphouse Theatre .This was a once in a lifetime experience and he has learnt so much about every aspect of putting on a stage show. I would highly recommend the classes for children who need to build self confidence and for children who already have plenty!"
