Come along to our final Creative Talk of 2022 with Jodie Dorday and friends on Mon 24 Oct!

Jodie debuted her theatre career with ATC's Dancing at Lughnasa in 1995 followed by appearances in Take a Chance on Me, All My Sons, Billy Elliott in the role of Mrs. Wilkinson, and Filthy Business as Carol.

She popped on her producer hat to bring the award-winning Amelia Bullmore to play, Di and Viv and Rose into Circa Theatre in Wellington and The Mayfair in Dunedin to rave reviews. Jodie is delighted to be bringing this show to The PumpHouse Theatre at long last for its Auckland premiere in November.

Jodie will share her experiences of bringing a production to the stage during a pandemic. As part of her talk, Jodie will be joined by Lisa and the fabulous Debbie Dorday who are helping bring Di and Viv and Rose to the stage.
