Over a weekend in late June, Blackboard Theatre Collective hosted the Isolation Mixtape Challenge, a 72-hour songwriting challenge where four teams created four new kiwi musical theatre songs. In the weeks since, we have converted these four songs into a studio EP: The Isolation Mixtape.

Blackboard Theatre Collective is proud to announce the premiere of The Isolation Mixtape on July 24th. Half concert, half release party, The Isolation Mixtape Premiere will provide a rare look at the creative processes of our teams over the challenge as well as the first-ever live performances of songs from The Isolation Mixtape.

Free to the public, this premiere is a celebration of Aotearoa’s hottest young songwriters and of a major step towards the development of new musical theatre here in New Zealand. The Premiere will also be live-streamed for those unable to attend in person.

There will be bubbles. There will be bangers.

Tickets are SOLD OUT, but never fear, the event is being livestreamed FOR FREE. Details to follow…

This project was made possible by the generous funding of Creative New Zealand.
