We begin the fourth year of our Third Act programme delivering social drama classes to five Retirement villages in the Wellington region. We don’t mean to brag, but there are more than a few who say this class is the highlight of their week. It is definitely a highlight of ours! It’s a privilege playing and creating with our Third Act members.

Creative in Schools
We have been awarded a Creative in Schools grant to work this year at Wellington East Girls College developing an inter-generational devised theatre project looking at cultural identity. Working with year 12 and 13 students, along side former students now in their 70’s and 80’s we will be exploring what’s changed over 6 decades when it comes to expressions of cultural identity.
