TRUE STORIES TOLD LIVE

Calvin — Fri, 27 Aug 2010 04:30:50 +0000

A new Book Council event that taps into the compelling need we all have for story, whether we are avid storytellers ourselves or enjoy listening to a good yarn. Through stories we make sense of things, the world around us, and the curious landscapes of our lives. The past three “True Stories Told Live” events held at TAPAC were an evening so intimate, fresh and engaging that to call it ‘storytelling’ almost falls short. Unrehearsed and in front of a live audience the speakers get up one by one and either sit or stand on the empty stage. From all walks of life, some never having done anything like this before, they start where they think the beginning of their story is and end about 10 minutes later. Each telling is like a confession, the audience all unabashedly leaning forward, intent on catching every word being uttered. It’s a great night’s entertainment and this Fathers’ Day come and hear seven different takes about Dad, Sunday 5 September 2010 at 4 pm. Admission $10.00. Door sales only. Come early to ensure a seat.

A VIEW FROM THE BRIDGE

Calvin — Wed, 18 Aug 2010 21:25:18 +0000

Peach Theatre Company presents A VIEW FROM THE BRIDGE by Arthur Miller

“Certain plays … are rich enough to be visited as often and as long as there are performers with strong, original voices and fresh insights”, says a recent New York Times review of Arthur Miller’s A View from the Bridge starring Scarlett Johansson and Liev Schrieber. Peach Theatre Company gathers some of New Zealand’s finest actors, including George Henare, Annie Whittle and Shortland Street’s Robbie Magasiva and Anna Jullienne, in this rarely performed masterpiece. This explosive love story centres on a young couple, from two cultures, torn apart in a world of jealousy and obsession. Following on from acclaimed Peach Theatre Company productions of The History Boys and Sweeney Todd, A View From The Bridge is directed by Jesse Peach and designed by Emily O’Hara. All ticketing is general admission. The duration of the play is approximately 2 hours including interval.

OPENS: Thur 21 October 2010

CLOSES: Sun 31 October 2010

TIMES: Tue, Wed 6.30 pm / Thur – Sat 8 pm / matinee Sun 24 October 4 pm + Sat 30 October 2 pm + Sun 31 October 2pm

Good Company brings to TAPAC their 2009 ” witty, sexy and entertaining hit The Idea of America, a poignant, at times devastating play” - Theatreview.

Jude, a failed actress living with dementia, seems to think she’s a lot more famous than she actually is. Between playing mother and battling with her illness, she escapes into a world of sequins, air-kisses and grand sweeping entrances. Amongst all this her conservative and bigoted daughter, Holly, returns to the fold. Youngest Maureen, and secretive older brother Sean, greet her warily. As things turn from bad to worse the comically dysfunctional siblings must unite in a common cause. Lies are exposed, old wounds reopened and each must struggle with their own off beat neuroses.

Award winning designer John Parker, established playwright Gary Henderson, Academy Award and two time Emmy winning director Milton Justice and current ‘Go-Girls’ cast member Michele Hine, have joined forces with Sam Shore and a line-up of some of New Zealand’s finest up and coming talents to create a captivatingly original portrayal of family life.

“This play is a testament to upcoming New Zealand talent. The Idea of America is fun, fabulous, but also heart breakingly sad. I was blown away.” – Express.

Bookings opening soon for TAPAC season from 10 November 2010

By Robert Louis Stevenson

AN OUTFIT THEATRE CO. PRODUCTION

Directed by Alison Quigan

Adapted by Devlin Bishop and The Outfit Theatre Co.

The Outfit Theatre Company’s adaptation of Treasure Island is back at TAPAC for the July school holidays! With such a fantastic response from audience’s during the 2009 season, such as “best kids show we’ve ever seen” TAPAC and The Outfit have drawn and polished their swords so you can take part in the fun once more.

Treasure Island is an exciting, uproarious family show full of humour, sword-fights, singing and dancing.

Will Jim find the treasure he seeks, or certain death courtesy of a buccaneer’s cutlass? Complete with a supporting cast of fops, blind hags, talking parrots and crazy castaways!
