A reminder that Hagley for a Day is coming up on Friday August 4th at the Open Stage Studios, 102 Champion Street. Regardless of whether students end up auditioning for the company or not, it is a really inspiring day of performing arts training and the Theatre Company would love to share their kaupapa with any school-leavers who might be keen on coming along. They are a third full at this stage and usually get to capacity, so sign up ASAP if interested. The form is here.
