Mythical creatures loved By Marianne Kelly

T

HE STAGE version of a much-loved high fantasy novel is transporting a large cast of children into another magical world. Howick Children’s and Youth Theatre (HCYT) has brought together a cast of 31 to present The Lion, The Witch & The Wardrobe. It is director, Alex Gleed’s, fourth production for HCYT and he says the children, aged from eight to 14, are relishing the portrayal of fantasy animals, mythical creatures such as Centaurs and unicorns. “There is also a combination of animal and human qualities which contribute to the overall cast enjoyment,� he says. “I acted as the Lion, Aslan, about five years ago, so it is interesting seeing it from the other side now. “The kids have really taken to the concept, as they did last year in 101 Dalmations. These plays give an extra level of excitement.� The story revolves around four children, evacuated to a

country mansion from London during World War II. It’s summer when they venture through a wardrobe, only to find the winter wonderland of Narnia on the other side. The wardrobe, Mr Gleed says, is ‘implied offstage� while the set features large trees and dynamic lighting, including lamp lights that work. “The thing that helps the play is the fact that the cast gets along well. “The older ones have been attending classes for a number of years and it comes across on the stage; the chemistry and friendships established offstage.� Carrie Hood, 14, plays one of the children, Susan and says she likes the character “because she’s similar to my own personality. She’s easy to play, she’s responsible and sensible.� The Year 10 Pakuranga College student has been a member of HCYT since she was six and says she has seen the movies and read The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe book. “I like the sense of adven-

ture, a land through a wardrobe,� she says. “I am naturally not nervous or scared, but with Susan being so unsure of things, it’s quite a flip in character for me.� Pakuranga College Year 9 student, Juliet Schulz, says she likes Lucy, the character she is playing. “She is very excited all the time and happy to see people. “She’s always so happy and it’s nice to play a happy character. I find it hard when she is sad.� Juliet has been taking HCYT classes since she was six and was eight when she played her first part on the HCYT stage: “I just like acting,� she says. ■■The Howick Children’s and Youth Theatre production of The Lion, The Witch & The Wardrobe is at 7.30pm on March 26 and 27 and at 1pm and 4pm on March 28 and 29, at Harlequin Theatre, 563 Pakuranga Road. The ticketed event is for audiences five years and older. For more information phone 537-4943, or email hcyt@xtra.co.nz.

Construction activity at new town centre

INSIDE

construction activity in the town centre. While the South Eastern part of Auckland is an important residential area, it is also an area providing a high number of jobs making commuting easy with high employment areas such as East Tamaki and Highbrook less than 10 minutes drive and the Auckland International Airport less than 20 minutes away. The Ormiston Town Centre will be well served by a number of community facilities funded by both central and local government.
