Entertainment!
Aucklanders from the South side have plenty of options when it comes to entertainment, whether in our region, nearby or online. SOUTH has prepared this quick guide of our picks of what’s to see and do this month.
A Costume Showcase Extravaganza August 16, from 2pm, Off Broadway Theatre, 41 Elliot Street, Papakura
Fabulous ‘50s August 20, from 11am, Pukekohe Town Hall, Cnr of Massey Ave & Edinburgh St, Pukekohe, and August 27, Hawkins Theatre, 13 Ray Small Dr, Papakura
It’s time to dress up right and return to the theatre once again. This fashion show might not be the best fit for the catwalks of Milan but, featuring costumes and props from PTC’s extensive wardrobe, it’s sure to suit those who love the pageantry of local theatre. See ptc.org.nz.
A rockin’, rollin’ experience is about to shake its way onto the local stage. A blast from the past, this concert highlights the hits from a decade that shook music to its foundations. More information via operatunity.co.nz.
