PLEASE HELP THE PLAYHOUSE!

Can you help The Playhouse Children’s Theatre’s fairytale have a happy ending?

Spend the next 4.5 minutes watching as our young actors tell you why we are raising awareness, seeking funds and talking to anyone and everyone to get their help in refurbishing this beloved Dunedin theatre space.

Please share this post with your friends, your whānau and across all of your networks. We want to connect with all those kind kiwis who value the future of Ōtepoti’s performing arts eco-system, for the children of today, their tomorrow and our future.

Our friends at The Globe Theatre Dunedin are staging Neil Simon's hilarious comedy, "The Dinner Party,". The season opens this Thursday 20 August and runs till 30 August.

Six strangers are invited to an exclusive Parisian restaurant by a mysterious host. None of them knows why they have been brought together, and as the evening unfolds, questions begin to mount. What is the connection between them? Who arranged the gathering? And what is the true purpose of this extraordinary dinner?

It was great to host rakitahi and kaiako from Kaikorai Valley College Logan Park High School NZ, and Taieri College at tonight’s special high school performance of “The Dumb Waiter”.

We really enjoyed answering your questions in the post-show QnA.

Thanks for coming out on a cold night!

Only four more shows!

"A spectacularly well-cast play. Both performers carry off the absurdity of their exchanges with a supreme seriousness and commitment that is outrageously funny, and convincingly human," Theatreview.

Season Thursday 30 July - Saturday 8 August.
The Playhouse, 31 Albany St, Dunedin.
