Silo Theatre closes out 2025 with the glitter-soaked world premiere of D.R.A.G. (Dressed Resembling a God).

From 13 November – 6 December, Q Theatre Loft transforms into Lady T’s, the fiercest drag club this side of Karangahape Road. D.R.A.G. is a fabulous, funny and filthy love letter to q***r nightlife and the artists who keep it alive - equal parts party, politics and performance.

Three drag artists fight to save their beloved club while everything around them is crumbling. Secrets, diva antics, and drag hierarchy bubble beneath the sequins and sparkle as they prepare their most important show of the year.

To summarise the previous article I published last week, on September 12th at 1:05pm, the Vice Chancellor's update, emailed to all students, detailed that the the feedback received from students and staff regarding the course would be discussed at a Senate meeting on September 15th, and that they would deliberate on whether the course should become an optional General Education paper, rather than a requirement. The email also stated that the final decision would be revealed in October.

Student associations across Auckland have joined forces, calling on Auckland Transport to increase tertiary concessions to 50%.

Are you sick of breaking the bank every time you get a bus to university? Do you sometimes sit and reminisce like an elderly person on the good old days when tagging on to public transport cost 50 cents?
