The PumpHouse Theatre is located in Killarney Park, on the shore of Lake Pupuke in Takapuna, Auckland.
Built in 1905, The PumpHouse was originally a water pumping station. It housed a furnace which energised an enormous pump, that shifted water from the lake to the early settlers of Devonport. In 1983 it was listed as a Category II Historic Building under the protection of The New Zealand Historic Places Trust.
The PumpHouse operates as a programmed venue for hire for the performing arts. It presents a diverse range of theatre, from plays, musicals, dance, traditional outdoor Summer Shakespeare, stand-up comedy and concerts to psychic mediums, book launches, poetry and play readings.
