Little Theatre praised

Congratulations to all involved in Arsenic and Old Lace –  the ultimate local top-class experience right from entering and to the finale. I believe it’s the best I have ever seen in Te Awamutu and our group loved the show. One of us said she would like to see it again.

The theatre atmosphere and cleanliness, freshness and warmth of the theatre was excellent and the sets adorable, in fact magnificent. The actors were all amazing with delivery and performance. What a great night out.

The memory will always be there as the best value for money show Te Awamutu has seen. We all thank you for everyone’s dedication and passion. I believe the advertising was also excellent as everywhere you went around town the flier was displayed.

We are so pleased you have been showing the ‘Sold Out’ sign throughout the season. Everyone has worked so hard to achieve such a superb entertainment.

Help wanted

Very recently I had items of great sentimental value, stolen from my front garden in Bank Street. The nighttime theft included a cobalt blue birdbath my much-loved husband gave me many years ago. He passed away with cancer in 2023. A large, heavy, dark red planter pot, also taken, was a gift from my brother , who died earlier this year. If you have a heart at all, please return these precious items.
