As we grow, so does our contribution to a cause that’s close to our hearts

2023 Wine Sponsor
During the 1990’s Greg and Sue White decided to make the sort of radical lifestyle change that many dream of, and so few actually put into practice. Shedding their corporate business suits the pair set sail on a 48-foot yacht named Chanticleer. Their daughter Samantha would spend the first six months of her life on board the yacht.
Sheltering from the Pacific hurricane season Greg, Sue and Samantha ended up in the beautiful waters of the Marlborough Sounds. Inspired by the beauty of the region, the couple decided a Marlborough winery was the sort of project to see them return to dry land. Whitehaven remains proudly family owned and is headed by Sue who continues the dream she and her late husband Greg shared. In 2020 Samantha (with Sue below) joined the family business, along with her husband Josh Barclay, to follow in Sue and Greg’s footsteps and continue the family vision. https://whitehaven.co.nz/OUR 2023 SEASON

Mar 22nd – Apr 1st
Gryphon Theatre
directed by
Oliver ManderWhere’s My Money? is a play that seizes your attention from the get-go, with six characters weaving a plot of brutal and callous honesty, interwoven with lies and deceit. A deeply black satire of marriage, divorce, unhappiness, infidelity – and of course MONEY!
This production season by Wellington Repertory is the show’s New Zealand premiere. Is it a comedy? Is it a drama? Either way, Wellington Repertory’s first production of 2023 is worth viewing to find out!JEEVES AND WOOSTER IN PERFECT NONSENSE
May 31st – Jun 10th
Gryphon Theatre
Jeeves and Wooster in Perfect Nonsense is a delightfully funny play, written by David and Robert Goodale based on P.G.Wodehouse’s 1938 novel The Code of the Woosters.
The play is typical P.G.Wodehouse, maintaining his wonderful use of language that is full of wicked humour. With the actors playing multiple roles through numerous scenes, it is a very visual play full of farcical antics and physicality that makes it very entertaining.TOP GIRLS
Aug 2nd-12th
Gryphon Theatre
directed by Belinda Campbell
Top Girls is a three act play by the phenomenal playwright, Caryl Churchill. This dramatic, sometimes surreal and darkly funny work explores women’s lives under the patriarchy, and the sacrifices we make on the path to ‘the top’ of an individualist, capitalist structure.
Played by 7 actors, Top Girls has a rich cast of 16 characters representing some amazing women throughout history.PICNIC AT HANGING ROCK
Nov 1st – 11th
Gryphon Theatre
directed by
Tanya PiejusOn a summers day in 1900, three Australian schoolgirls on a picnic expedition to the remote Hanging Rock abscond from their group. They are last seen heading towards the beckoning Rock.
In Tom Wright’s chilling adaptation of Joan Lindsay’s classic novel, five performers struggle to solve the mystery of the missing girls and their teacher. Euphoria and terror reverberate throughout the community as the potential for history to repeat itself becomes nightmarishly real.OUR STORY
