Community theatre is alive and well in Wellington. New community company - Kauri Theatre - staged Bad Girls the Musical at the Gryphon Theatre last year and it was a great success.
Now the company is hitting the boards again - this time bringing the musical of the cult film The Full Monty to Wellington audiences.
If you have always hankered to give live theatre a go we would love to see you at auditions in early February. All you need to do is prepare a suitable song and come along and give it a shot. We’re looking for all sorts of people, different ages, shapes and sizes.
Auditions for this 10-time Tony Award nominated show - which is filled with engaging melodies and the most highly anticipated closing number of any show - are being held on February 2 and 3 at the Berhampore Community Centre on Adelaide Rd.
The show will be staged at the Gryphon Theatre in Wellington from May 29 to June 8.
For more information - and to book an audition time - txt 022 165 6219 or email the secretary at kauritheatre@gmail.com

Luckily, a trio of locals scrambled down the steep cliffs to rescue the pair of dolphins from a small alcove in Houghton Bay.
Did you see the dolphins or witness the rescue? Have you spotted dolphins in this kind of strife before? Where is the best place in the capital to spot visiting dolphins or whales?

Hello neighbours
I live on Hewer Crescent,
My neighbour had a door knock, asking if she had lost a kitten because this lovely lady had found one and was trying to find the owner, and has left the kitten with her, my neighbour called me as she has more than enough cats in her care, and asked if I could help, so I now have said kitten who was named Miss Potts
(all though he’s a boy so we’ll call him Mr Potts)
the kitten is black and white, male, approx 6 weeks old, kitten is riddled with fleas, has the squirts and has worms, I’ve given it a worm tablet, I’m not sure yet if I’ll give it flea treatment (as I’ll need to break open a dose and only use a small
Portion of it, but I’m urgently looking for the owners, please call me 021-060-2701 we can’t keep kitty here for long, as my cats stress and last stress he had ended up with him in cat hospital and now has regularly occurring urinary infections which cost $200 each vet visit! (Sorry for that history lesson)
I will have to take the kitty to a cat rescue, tomorrow afternoon if I haven’t heard from the owners.
Please share post, thanks

In fact, Dr. John Gottman, famous marriage researcher and author of The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work, has identified four of the most typical areas of solvable marital conflict: technology, work stress, money, and housework.
While something such as housework may seem like no big deal, there is emotional importance attached to these tasks that deepens our bond when they are accomplished. When these tasks are not accomplished, partners no longer feel like a safe haven for each other in the chaos of life—rather they make life for each other feel even more chaotic.
Disconnecting from distractions
Cultivating emotional connection and intimacy in the age of our attention economy has become a difficult task for couples. Take a moment and ask yourself: how much time do you think couples spend or should spent talking with each other?
In a research study on young couples in Los Angeles, the average amount of time partners engaged in face-to-face conversation was 35 minutes… a week!
Solution: If your lover is complaining that you’re more focused on your phone than your relationship, that’s an issue you need to take seriously, even if you don’t agree. The fastest solution is to sit down together and create a tech agreement.
This could be an agreement that both partners will not text, check email, or update their social profiles during specific times of the day or particular events, such as date night, mealtime, or when either of you needs to talk. It’s vital that this agreement feels fair to both of you.
Bringing work stress home
Many couples never think to discuss how they de-stress after work, but the way we handle—or don’t handle—work stress at the end of the day can cause unnecessary conflict.
Solution: Discuss your end-of-the-day routine with each other.
Money
One of the most common areas of conflicts in marriage is about money, how to spend it, and how to save for the things that truly matter. Whether your bank account is full or you’re just getting by, you are bound to have conflict over money since money is so symbolic of our emotional needs. Balancing the emotional realities of money can be work for any couple since our feelings about money are so personal.
Solution: Most arguments about money are not actually about money. So, go beneath the dollar value to understand what money means to each of you. Before budgeting take time to have a constructive conversation about money and discuss any financial gridlock issues. After that, take time to prioritize your spending and then lay out an action plan for financial freedom.
Housework
When couples don’t do their agreed-upon share of the housework, issues in all aspects of the relationship may be impacted. One partner is left feeling disrespected and unsupported, which leads to resentment and ultimately a less satisfying relationship.
Solution: Have a conversation about housework and split up chores so it feels fair to both partners. Create a list to determine who should do what. Use this list talk about how things are currently handled and how you would like them to be handled. Some items to include: car care, child care, finances, food, house cleaning, and house projects.
According to Dr. John Gottman, “Women find a man’s willingness to do housework extremely erotic.” When the man does his share to maintain the home, both partners report a more fulfilling sex life than in marriages where the wife believes her husband is not doing his share. How’s that for motivation to get off the couch?
