South Pacific Musical - semi staged performance

Jayson from Avalon

Hutt Valley Orchestra performs a semi-staged convert of South Pacific Musical.

Te Raukura ki Kāpiti, Coastlands Theatre
Saturday 24 August 2024 6:00pm – 8:00pm

This is the essence of the musical South Pacific - the story, the singers and the orchestra. Come and hear such favourites as "Gonna Wash That Man", "Some Enchanted Evening" and "Bali Ha'i".

The show is a 1949 Rodgers and Hammerstein musical, set on an island in the South Pacific during World War II. It was based on a series of short stories by James Michener.

The musical was a massive hit, and the songs continue to be popular. Ours is an semi-staged performance. Mainly, that means no scenery and dancing. You still get narration, the songs, and a full orchestra. The singers are from Victoria University Music Department, and the music is played by Hutt Valley Orchestra under the baton of Mark Carter.

For accessibility seating enquiries, please email kiaora@teraukura.nz or call (04)9740535 during office hours.

Poll: Should drivers retake the theory test every 10 years?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Drivers get where they need to go, but sometimes it seems that we are all abiding by different road rules (for example, the varying ways drivers indicate around a roundabout).
Do you think drivers should be required to take a quick driving theory test every 10 years?

Vote in the poll and share any road rules that you've seen bent! 😱

NZ councils and social media. 🤔🤔🤔

Mike from Alicetown

My local council uses Facebook to disseminate a lot of information. For instance, it screens council meetings live on the platform.
Given that Facebook is based offshore and pays no tax in AoNZ should councils be using it?
Shouldn't all council information come from the council's own website? Why do we have to search multiple platforms to find information that should just be in one place?

🤔🤔🤔
