Through access to free workshops and ongoing training, emerging artists are able to become a part of the company as teenagers and remain with Massive throughout their professional career.

The best theatre company in Auckland. I have been with Massive for ten years and still can't beat it. They are welcoming, hard-working, accessible, loving, professional, and kind - and they make fantastic theatre for all to watch and participate in.

Sunny, open, inviting. Various studios offering different vibes and creative spaces, adorable staff, communal wharekai with coffee and tea, sometimes snacks. The most welcoming theatre space I’ve ever known.
