🩵A HUGE THANK YOU!🩷
Over the last two weekends, 200+ young performers have taken to the stage at the Isaac Theatre Royal, Ōtautahi and Due Drop Events Centre, Manukau, bringing Disney’s The Little Mermaid JR. and GREASE Young@Part - two very different, very special productions to life. 🎭✨
From our youngest performers to our oldest, every cast member brought energy, talent and heart to the stage. Thank you for making these productions so special and creating memories that will last a lifetime.👏
To our incredible creatives, production teams, backstage crew, front of house and everyone working behind the scenes- thank you for pouring your talent, passion and countless hours into bringing these productions to life. 🎭✨
And to our incredible volunteers - we simply could not do this without you. From helping backstage and front of house to supporting our young people, families and audiences, you give your time, energy and heart so generously. You are the magic behind the magic.❤️
To our school and public audiences - thank you for filling the theatres, cheering, laughing and celebrating our young people. Your support means more than you know.
And to our wonderful supporters and venue partners, thank you for believing in youth theatre and helping us make these opportunities possible.
