Interested in being part of the Auckland Live Cabaret Festival 2026?
This form is for Existing Works — productions that have already been performed in front of paying audiences. If your show is polished, tour-ready, and supported by technical specifications and marketing assets, you’re in the right place.
If your production is new or still in development, please complete the New Works form instead.
Expressions of Interest for Existing Works close 11.59pm (NZDT) on Sunday, 12 October 2025.
If you’d like to kōrero with a member of our team before submitting, please email cabaretfestival@aucklandlive.co.nz and we’ll be happy to arrange a time to chat.
Before you start your application, please have ready:
- Synopsis of your show
- Suggested hero image
- Biographies of the artists and creative team
- Links to reviews of past seasons
- Links to websites and social channels
- Technical requirements
- Marketing assets
We want this process to be as accessible as possible, therefore, you can submit your EOI in writing, or as a video or audio recording to cabaretfestival@aucklandlive.co.nz.
