Fine Thyme Theatre Company is an enthusiastic group that welcomes anyone wanting to be involved on stage or off-stage. They offer musicals, dramas, comedies, workshops and even have our own singing group.
Their upcoming show is scheduled for 30 September - 3rd October 2026. Set during the brutal Otago gold rush of 1862, Rush the Musical Cromwell 2026 follows two families chasing a better life—only to be met with tragedy, injustice, and betrayal. As dreams of fortune unravel, the story centres on resilience, with the women left behind finding strength, justice, and hope amid loss.
