Bruce Mason Centre: Seasons

Capital E National Theatre for Children remounts Seasons, one of the most popular theatre productions from its 22-year repertoire.

Beautifully crafted, Seasons transports children through song, music, and puppetry into the four seasons – raumati, ngahuru, hōtoke, and kōanga.

Journey into nature’s world of living creatures, colours, and sounds.   

Directed by Jacqueline Coats, the 2021 version of the show features Peter Wilson’s original story with music by Laughton Pattrick, and a new, visually stimulating design.  

Capital E is honoured to be touring Seasons in memory of Peter Wilson (Writer of Seasons and Founding Director of Capital E National Theatre for Children) and Laughton Pattrick (Composer of Seasons).

Performers: Mia Alonso-Green, Flora Dryburgh, Dominic Flanagan.

Encore Theatre Collective is proud to present a dazzling new production of Seussical The Musical, based on the immortal works of Dr Seuss. Seussical brings to life many infamous and well-loved Dr Seuss characters, including Horton the Elephant, Gertrude McFuzz, Mayzie La Bird and, of course, the Cat in the Hat. These characters and stories weave together in a whimsical and wacky musical extravaganza, played out against an uplifting score, and highlighting the show’s universal messages of love and acceptance – reminding us all that “a person’s a person, no matter how small.”

Since launching in 2019, Encore Theatre Collective has made an incredible mark on the Auckland theatre scene and redefined the standard of youth theatre in New Zealand. Hot on the heels of their sold-out season of Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Cinderella, the June season of Seussical features 120 of the country’s finest young talent, ranging in age from 9-23.

With spectacular choreography, unbelievable production design, and slick vocals, Encore Theatre Collective’s Seussical The Musical is the theatrical offering of 2021 that you will not want to miss!
