A word from backstage
Well, here it is folks, the last show of the year, and what a year you have all made for us.
Your commitment to the Fortune whether it be; attending shows, becoming a subscriber, donating time, donating money, ushering, volunteering or just taking time to give us feedback, has created such a momentum for us.
What that says to me is: you like what we have to offer, you have a good time when you’re here, and you’d like to see more!
Well you’ll certainly be getting more with Calendar Girls – for obvious reasons – but you might be pleased to know we’re launching our 2013 Season on 12 December. So, no waiting in suspense over the Christmas break. You can purchase subscriptions for your family and friends before Christmas, and have a beautiful season brochure to give them too.
Without giving too much away before then, the Fortune 2013 season will be raising its bar higher than ever, to bring you a strong, eclectic mix of the very best contemporary theatre with a thrilling line-up of local, national and international theatre-makers. Something and someone for everyone’s tastes.
Anyhow, I am jumping the gun a little, when there is still so much to choose from this year.
Calendar Girls is selling faster than any show I have seen in my time at the theatre. Comedy Intelligence Agency has now been with us over a year with growing success. Our Young Playwrights Initiative started its ten week programme in the Studio. Stage South celebrate NZ playwright Elspeth Sandys in a reading of her work…
So, get in here before it’s too late. Treat yourself to a good time. You deserve it.
