RAD Theatre - Two Gentlemen of Verona 2022

25/01/2022

This is sad news for this year's acts (and for those of us intending to go to some of the shows). People will have put so much work into their shows - and the festival as a whole.
I'm glad we got to do our Shakespeare last year and relieved that I resisted the lure of calls to do anything this year.
It's hard times to be in the performing arts for sure. Especially anything from small/medium audiences up to stadium size crowds.

A move into the red traffic light Covid setting has forced organisers to cancel Waikato's showpiece arts event.

Oh look who's leading the advertising for Hamilton Gardens Arts Festival's fundraising campaign for 2022!

Review!

Raglan is rich in artistic talent and, evidently, in possession of an absolute wealth of acting talent too.
