My 14-year-old daughter and her friends are doing a fundraiser for DCM (formerly Downtown Community Ministry) to provide more dental services to homeless and vulnerable Wellingtonians.

DCM set up a dental service in 2016 and are now providing emergency dental treatment to some 180 people each year. People who are homeless are 12 times more likely than individuals with stable housing to have dental problems and dental health can make a huge difference to health and wellbeing

All money raised goes direct to DCM to provide more dental services for homeless and vulnerable Wellingtonians.

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.

Charges for coupon parking and permits will also be increased. A charge of $2:50 per hour will be applied in all areas that currently have a weekday rate of $3:00 or more.

Daily public parking coupons will now cost $7:50, an increase of a dollar, with an increase of $15 from the current $120:00 for monthly coupons, and a range of increases for trade coupons. A 12-month resident parking permit will increase from $115:00 to $126:50, and there are also increases for exemption, guesthouse and loading permits. A full-day weekend central city trade coupon will be introduced at a rate of $22:50.

The decision aims to encourage higher turnover of parking spaces on weekends, allowing more people to access the city, and keeping rates affordable. It will transfer the cost of maintaining city centre amenities from local businesses currently paying the Downtown Levy to users of parking spaces.

Te Ahumairangi (ground floor), National Library, corner Molesworth and Aitken Streets, Thorndon

Frank and funny conversation about life in the theatre
At his own admission it took Roger Hall fifteen years to be an overnight success.
Fellow playwright Renée feels her life in theatre is like having ‘wandered into a Beckett play and forgotten the plan’!
Formidable playwrights Roger and Renée come together for a frank and funny conversation about their lives in theatre to help us celebrate the inaugural New Zealand Theatre Month.

The conversation will navigate the satisfaction and uncertainty of their chosen life, the pleasures and horrors of seeing one’s own work performed, directing or not directing one’s own work as well as all manner of terrifying and exhilarating aspects of theatre.

Be privy to the inner world of New Zealand theatre through the experience of two of our most revered playwrights.
