There are many documentaries and stories about theatres closing down because of digitalisation, our story is not about that. Our story is about a rather unique building, one of Auckland’s oldest theatres, standing on one of Auckland’s busiest suburban roads, passed by hundreds everyday, and potentially just slowly fading away…all in 3 minutes!! This short documentary was made as part of the Loading Docs intiative 2015 …

A resin driveway’s appearance isn’t a guarantee that it will last for years. Direct sunlight can cause the colours to fade, but most reputable companies use UV-resistant resin that does not fade. If the colour of your driveway is light, you won’t need to worry about algae and moss growth. Just be sure to power wash your driveway at least once a year. Click Here

Wow, that is a cool story. That building looks like it has so much potential. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if there was some sort of community fundraiser or initiative started to restore the building, redesign and modernize it enough to still hold that vintage atmosphere and feel. I think it would be a great idea and would bring so much more attention to it! I’d sure love to visit and watch a film or attend some sort of event there. -David, Winnipeg Tile Installers

The film does an excellent job of capturing the essence of the theatre and its importance to the local community. I was particularly struck by the dedication and passion of the people involved in the preservation of the theatre, and the challenges they faced in their efforts to restore it to its former glory. I am sure my gutter cleaning north shore auckland team will amaze by this.

The Lab’s existence has also been key to artists rediscovering the theatre upstairs. moab family vacations
