With foodstuffs ranging from the exotic to the ‘garden-variety’, plus wines, craft beers and so much more, this show provides a smorgasbord of treats, tips and products.

The roaring twenties never roared in quite the way this musical comedy suggests. Based on the acclaimed 1976 film of the same name (which starred Scott Baio and Jodie Foster), this stage show (presented by the Hawkins Youth Theatre Company) reminds us of a simpler time, when gangsters threw cream pies and drove pedal-cars! See hawkinstheatre.co.nz for details.
The talents of acclaimed Kiwi choreographer, Sarah Foster-Sproull are again set to bloom when this show takes to the stage. A study of the female psyche through movement, this show is sure to have the audience on its feet too. Details via qtheatre.co.nz
