Social climbers - the comedy - is touring NZ!

Roger Halls Sparkling Comedy Social Climbers

What do you call six women stranded on a mountain in the rain: ridiculous! Or you could call them social climbers … but just not to their faces! Once at the hut, not only do they unload their packs full of food, wine, and a souvenir rock; their hang-ups get unloaded as well.

What do you call six women stranded on a mountain in the rain: ridiculous! Or you could call them social climbers … but just not to their faces! Once at the hut, not only do they unload their packs full of food, wine, and a souvenir rock; their hang-ups get unloaded as well.

Torrential rain and a flooded bridge keep them stranded for three days. What they get up to, to help pass the time, raises a few eyebrows and will have you laughing, tearing up and applauding enthusiastically as they bare all.

Of course, it’s not just souls that are exposed, there’s a little nudity, a cracking thunderstorm, explosions, screaming bloody murder, ghostly stories, a birthday celebration, a séance, a drunken party, confessions, meltdowns and revelations that will keep you and your friends entertained throughout.

Perfectly timed for your own social group’s ascent into summer, don’t miss this hilarious play when it comes to a town near you in November.

The Good Time Gang is a new company of senior and volunteer performers who perform a raucous interactive show at retirement homes around the Wellington area. The group was put together by Jen McArthur, a local physical theatre maker, and Lynda Davis, who met doing The Wearable Arts Award Show.

We are auditioning for at least 2 new performers for our 2019 season of "The Good Time Gang Comedy Radio Hour", performed on Friday afternoons mid March to mid October. The show involves comedy, music, radio drama and audience interaction and is based on a 1940-60s style radio show. This initiative is to provide an opportunity for retired people who love performing to keep on the boards, or for younger people who have the time, to perform to an audience that is often overlooked and hungry for it! This show has received a WCC Arts and Culture grant for development and to equip it for performance but there is as yet no payment for performers. It received very enthusiastic feedback from the audience and staff in the four trial performances.

The audition is on Friday 16 November, from 2 to 4pm at the Newtown Community Centre Hall, Colombo St Newtown, Wellington.
Enquiries to Jen McArthur - jennyrowan.mcarthur@gmail.com or to Lynda Davis 021 122 2900, odavis@iconz.co.nz.
Please alert your singing, dancing and joking friends, parents and neighbours!

They don’t need to be perfect at all as they won’t be slept on and could just be a mattress without base. We would be very happy to pick up
