* Th29Apr - Sat01May:  <b>Ngā Manurere</b> follows Manawa’s (Nicola Kawana) journey to reconnect with the son Morehu (Rhys Castle-Hughes in his theatrical debut) she gave up through whangāi. Supported by her closest friends Wai (newcomer Sera Henare), Rina (Lana Garland) and Jess (Renee Maihi) who are all single mothers, the women are tied together by roots and friendship; but each secretly harbors her own view on Manawa and the son to whom she is a stranger.  At once funny and shocking, the play explores the everyday experience of being a solo mum with honesty and humor. It also reveals a terrible truth that exposes the danger of emotional silence.  Premiere Thursday evening 8pm with mix and mingle afterwards; performances Fr 8pm, Sa2pm and Sa8pm.  Tickets $20; Contact Artworks Theatre for bookings: 372-2941msg or [mailto:ArtworksTheatre@gmail.com?subject=Waihekepedia_Booking ArtworksTheatre@gmail.com]  @ [[Artworks Theatre|Artworks Community Theatre]]

This is a homage honoring the Maori entertainers of our past, by bringing their stories of the showband era back to life for audiences young and old so that they can experience (or relive) such an important part of our Maori entertainment history. Raising the Titanics is the type of play that (like ‘Strange Resting Places’) will give us further insight to our past while being highly entertaining for all audiences. Embrace the feel-good positivity of this era and be reminded that we as Maori had a great tradition of incredible entertainers that is still thriving today.

Each term will have a different focus and there will be at least one evening performance to put skills into practice. All students should arrive 5min before the start of the lesson and wear suitable loose clothing for moving around freely and there will be some floor work -- so no best clothes, please! Bring only a dollop of enthusiasm and a sense of humour. 6-8yo: 3:30 - 4:15; 9-13yo: 4:45 - 5:45; 14-18yo: 6:30-8:00.
