NUNSENSE II

The Second Coming ...

Nunsense II, is another hilarious musical comedy by Dan Goggin. The story begins six weeks after the Little Sisters of Hoboken staged their first benefit show. This time, they give a thank-you show for their supporters in the school auditorium, which is now set up for the eighth grade production 'The Mikado'. They have no need of money now, thanks to the large cash prize that Sister Mary Amnesia has won. The show goes well, but chaos erupts when the Franciscans arrive to claim Sister Mary Amnesia (and her prize money) as one of their own. Then the bird house falls on Sister Mary Amnesia's head - and everything changes ...

Here we meet again Reverend Mother Regina, a former circus performer; Sister Mary Hebert, the Mistress of Novices; a streetwise nun from Brooklyn named Sister Robert Anne; Sister Mary Leo, a novice who is a wannabe ballerina; and the delightfully wacky Sister Mary Amnesia, the nun who lost her memory when a crucifix fell on her head.

Nunsense II is a fun show that features star turns, dancing, comic surprises and audience participation (care for a game of Bingo?). The author, Dan Goggin, spent a great deal of his life around nuns. He wrote the Nunsense musicals because he wanted to share what he knew to be 'the humour of the nun'. It may be hard to believe when you see the show, but each of the sisters is based on a real life nun.

Directed by Val Currie.

MICHAEL HOUSTOUN

& FRIENDS

Michael Houstoun - piano
Wilma Smith - violin
Gillian Ansell - viola
Ashley Brown - cello

Chamber Music is often called 'the music of friends' and this piano quartet (P4) concert, one of just three special performances, brings together 'friends' who are four of New Zealand's best instrumentalists: cellist Ashley Brown, Gillian Ansell, Wilma Smith, and pianist Michael Houstoun - collectively B.A.S.H.

The programme combines two of the most popular works from the piano quartet repertoire, Brahms' Piano Quartet in A major 1857 and Faure's Quartet No 1 in C minor of 1877, together with an unfamiliar two movement miniature from 1988 by Soviet composer, Alfred Schnittke, who followed in the footsteps of Dmitri Shostakovich.

Brahms Quartet in A major Op 26
Schnittke Piano Quartet
Faure Quartet No 1 in C minor Op 15

Genesis Energy Theatre

Tickets: $50 Adult & $45 Concession

Concessionary tickets available to Friends of Expressions, Members of the Upper Hutt Music Society and Expressions Piano Club Members

TALE OF A DOG

It's time to learn new tricks from an old Dog!

Meet Dog: our much-loved, excitable circus performer!

Dog is eager to wow his audience with inspired new tricks, much to the vexation of the ill-tempered Ring Master who is determined to keep Dog on a short leash.

Be mesmerised as Dog faces challenges - some trickier than tight-rope walking - that teach him to always shoot for the moon!

Tale of a Dog is a tail-wagging, toe-tapping tale of triumph over adversity that is bound to leave you begging for more.

From the creators of the much-loved PAPER SHAPER and BOXES comes this delightful new circus-inspired production drawing skills of Circus Oz's Deborah Pope and written by Peter Wilson.

Genesis Energy Theatre

All tickets: $10.50

Groups of 6+ $8.00
