There will be something for everyone in the latest offering from the Warkworth Theatre Company.
From April 13 to 21, the group will present Plethora, featuring 11 short plays or skits.
Executive director Lee-Ann Scarth’s vision for the show was to support new members in either directing or being on stage for the first time, without the responsibility of taking on a full-length play.
This has seen seven new directors and four new actors join the fray, as well as a number of actors who have not been on stage for a while stepping back into the limelight.
The 11 “shows” are each about 10 minutes long and each one has its own tale to tell with a little twist at the end.
“We will take you on a journey from the travel agency to the pet shop, to airport security and off to a reunion as just a few of our settings,” Scarth says.
She says the plays come from a variety of playwrights, mostly from New Zealand, and two are from within the theatre group – Susan Howard and James Addis.
“We appreciate the support of Playmarket and Lazy Bee Scripts for providing the licensing to produce these shows.”
Plethora will play at the Warkworth Town Hall from April 13 to 21, with evening performances starting at 7pm, and two matinees on April 15 and 16, starting at 2pm.
There will be a cash only bar available for soft drinks, wine and beer, and snacks and ice-creams.
Tickets are on sale online at wwtheatre.co.nz or from Mahurangi Matters.
