Time Stands Still Photography Competition
Are you a keen photographer? Take part in the Jonathan's Photo Warehouse Photo Competition that we are running in conjunction with Time Stands Still and be in to win amazing prizes!
Sarah, the main character in Time Stands Still, is a photojournalist who works to "Capture the truth, not stage it". So we're using the idea of "Capturing the Truth" as the theme for our photo competition.
Photos need to be submitted digitally to Lucy Summers via or on a memory stick to 231 Stuart St, Dunedin by 12noon, Monday 21 September
Up to three photos can be submitted per person.
Twenty photos that best represent the theme "Capturing the Truth" will be selected for the final round of the competition. These will be printed and displayed in the foyer of Fortune Theatre, on our website and our Facebook page during the season of Time Stands Still.
The winner of the Best Photo Award will be judged by Jonathan from Jonathan's Photo Warehouse on Monday 19 October and the winner will take home a fantastic photographer's prize pack.
The public will be invited to vote for the People's Choice Award by placing their vote in the box in the theatre foyer and via Facebook. The winner of the People's Choice Award will receive a double pass to a show of their choice at Fortune Theatre in 2016 (season to be announced on 30 November).
For more information, please Lucy Summers or call her on ext 2.
Good luck!
Thank you very much to Jonathan's Photo Warehouse for their support!
Flagons & Foxtrots - Girls Night Out!
Get your friends together for a fun and festive girls night of singing, dancing and laughing at Flagons & Foxtrots!
Thursday, 3rd December, 7.30pm
A free glass of sparkling wine, a treat-filled goodie bag, spot prizes and your ticket to see Flagons & Foxtrots, all for just $48.
The play is set in 1965 in a local dance hall. Archie Moore has big dreams of stardom and it looks like tonight may be his lucky break. He has two obstacles: his hormone-ravaged brother Pinkie and the fact that Sid won’t even let them play! Throw in Jack and Jillian’s rocky romance, Rita’s pulse-racing twist lessons, a few sneaky pints out the back and sooner or later someone’s bound to step on someone else’s toes... Read more about the play here.
Get in quick before this special event sells out!
