Theatre Fundraiser Matinee at the Rose Centre Theatre, Belmont. Sunday, 16th August at 2pm
Peninsula by Gary Henderson: Directed by Kristof Haines.
Set on the Banks Peninsula, South Island, in the 1960’s. This is a warmhearted and open-eyed snapshot of life in New Zealand’s 20th century rural communities.
An insightful glimpse into the concerns, dreams and joys of childhood.
The story centres around Michael Hope, a young boy, who lives on a volcano. While geological rumblings may remain deep underground, unrest in the adult world threatens to erupt into his life, changing everything.
Peninsula is a bittersweet coming of age story, rich with Kiwi nostalgia, brought to you by 5 talented actors who play two characters each - one young and one older.
Price $25 per person, afternoon tea included

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
