One of Te Awamutu Little Theatre’s goals is to get more children involved in the theatre and they achieved that last week with a drama showcase of students from local schools.

Tovah O’Neill, a drama teacher and vice president of the Little Theatre, took the students through after school programmes of drama, speech and drama and communication culminating in the showcase.
“It was a great event packed with family and friends,” she said.
“The drama showcase was the start of something beautiful for the Te Awamutu Little Theatre.”
Each year the theatre puts on a pantomime for children’s day which is an opportunity to celebrate performing arts with the community.
However, the drama club, comprising six to 13 years old, was able to have their own turn last week where they recited poetry and performed scripts and improvisations.
