In a lively conversation with each other and the audience, our ensemble of five fearless young actors wrestle with the complexities of what it means to be a hero.
Written by the acclaimed and brilliantly funny playwright Jo Randerson, ‘Like a River’ performs at Forum North on August 7 at 7pm, for one night only.
“I liked the show especially the themes that the show deals with. It’s the things that we don’t talk about, or too afraid to express, that really resonated with me as a teenager” - Rutherford College student

The options for doing so are endless! Being kind doesn’t have to cost a thing, after all a smile is free. For those who want to go the extra mile, here’s some other ideas: Buy extra kai at the grocery store to donate to a food pantry, help someone with a broken down car or flat tire, bring treats into work for colleagues, send an encouraging text to someone who needs it, let a car into the traffic ahead of you, take a gift over to new neighbours and introduce yourself, write positive messages in chalk on sidewalks around your neighbourhood, or surprise loved ones with a visit.
This month also coincides with World Humanitarian Day on August 19th and Random Acts of Kindness Day (New Zealand) which is on September 1st.
Let us know how you’re spreading kindness in your community by tagging us in your posts + using the following hashtag so we can see what you get up to:

Planning a trip around Aotearoa in the near future? Well, you can cross these five spots off your must-visit list.
From Taupō's self-described "iconic" Huka Prawn Park and the overcrowded sand baths at Coromandel's Hot Water Beach, to the decidedly average Moeraki Boulders in Waitaki - there are some places that just aren't worth your time or money.
Have you visited any of the 'attractions' on our list? Do you agree that they are overrated? If not, what makes them so great?
