Cast members chat and spinning old faves, on East FM, from midday Saturday
Rhythm n’ blues n’ soul music, and a chat with Howick Little Theatre cast members, feature on today’s She’ll Be Right on Saturdays Show with PJ Taylor, midday to 4pm (NZ time) on East FM.
It’s been a while since we’ve done a free-play show, so we’re spinning old favourites, and talking at 1pm with Mark Bishop and Anna Baird, cast members of the Howick Little Theatre’s last production for 2023, Old Love, by comic playwright Norm Foster.
It’s described as ‘a timeless comedy about hope, broken hearts, rekindled romance, and how it’s never too late to take a second chance on love’.
Bud Mitchell, portrayed by Mark Bishop, is smitten with Molly Graham from the first time he meets her. Molly, played by Anna Baird, barely notices him.
And the trouble is, they’re both already married at the time. Nearly three decades later, the now-divorced Bud discovers that Molly’s husband has died, so he makes up his mind to finally convince her that they belong together.
Tracey Holdsworth is thrilled to be directing Old Love: “I have to admit, I’m a bit of a hopeless romantic, so the chance to direct such a wonderful romantic comedy about hope and the quest for love was something I jumped at.”
The HLT season of Old Love runs from November 11 to December 2, with tickets available at www.hlt.nz... or iTICKET on phone 09 361 1000.
East FM is East Auckland’s fair-dinkum community-powered public service radio station, on 88.1FM and 107.1FM on local frequencies, nationally and globally at www.eastfm.nz... and on app iHeart Radio.
She’ll Be Right - it’s all about the vibe; it’s all about the groove. – PJ
Best way to use leftovers?
I'm sure you've got some excess ham at home or cold roast potatoes.

⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
