Bruce Mason Centre – Te Moana Glow Show!

WHAT IS TE MOANA GLOW SHOW?

It’s literally legendary! A giant scale puppet show for tamariki with magical glow-in-the-dark characters from Māori myth and legend. This innovative, cutting edge concept features 40+ glow-in-the-dark puppets under ultraviolet light in a black box theatre environment.

Rich in Te Reo Māori, it’s an upbeat 45-minute show with catchy music that has the audience buzzing from the onset. There’s an abundance of educational content to unpack with a Q&A session afterwards and resources online at www.glowshow.co.nz

In an ALL NEW SHOW for 2020 we’re going under the sea! A courageous Kina goes on a journey of discovery across the Pacific to Aotearoa. Helped by  Hiwa-i-te-rangi she meets many delightful (and not so delightful!) characters. He waka eke noa- we’re all in this together!

“Thank you for putting on a great show. It was so great it nearly blew my shoes off!” – Josh (PAPAKURA CENTRAL SCHOOL, 2019)

“If Matariki Glow Show is a small child’s first experience of theatre, then they will be very lucky. A fun and entertaining feast with a wonderful contemporary story of Aotearoa.” – Cate Prestidge (THEATREVIEW MAY, 2019)

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.”
