New play opening soon at the Octagon Theatre

Geoff from Central Whangarei

Good people

If you're fans of theatre, you might like to catch the heart warming play, The Illiterate Book Club that's coming to the Octagon Theatre.

It's the story of a group of friends who love books but who can't read - because they never have the time.

But they start a book club anyway and come up with other ways to soak up their favourite stories.

And apart from "book reviews", there's food, drink and updates on everything that's keeping them from sitting down with a good book.

Evening shows are: June 2nd, 3rd, 8th, 9th, 10th, 15th, 16th and 17th.
Dinner and show is $55 and show only is $30.

Matinees are: Sunday June 4th & 11th
Lunch and show $45. Show only $30.

Tickets are now available at www.octagontheatre.nz...
Or book through Craniums, ph 09 438 4406

Hope to see you there.

As a seasoned Crewcut franchisee, John is excited to answer your lawn and gardening questions. After years of perfecting the greens on the field, he's ready to share tips on how to knock your garden out of the park. Let's just say he’s as passionate about lush lawns as he is about a good game of cricket!

John is happy to answer questions about lawn mowing, tree/hedge trimming, tidying your garden, ride on mowing, you name it! He'll be online on Wednesday, 27th of November to answer them all.
