Feilding Little Theatre back in show business after three years of uncertainty

Matthew Dallas Reporter from Feilding-Rangitīkei Herald

Hi neighbours,

There is excitement that drama will soon be back on stage at Feilding Little Theatre instead of surrounding the building itself.

The curtain at the historic venue is set to rise for the first time since it was closed in March 2021 due to a structural fault.

With the building now getting a tick from the engineers, audiences will be welcomed back next week for one-man WWI monologue Stretcher Bearer.

Joan Ford, a member of the Little Theatre Players and the theatre’s building committee, spoke to us about the troupe's communal culture, and the involvement of families and school children through the years.

Do you have a treasured memory or favourite production at the little theatre from years gone by?

Poll: Have you ever been bullied?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

People associate bullying with children in schools, but it can actually stretch beyond childhood to workplaces or neighbourhoods.

This Friday is Pink Shirt Day, which began in Canada in 2007 when two students took a stand against homophobic bullying after a new student was harassed for wearing pink. People across the globe are now encouraged to wear pink on this day to take a stand against bullying and promote inclusivity.

Have you or your whānau ever experienced bullying? Share your thoughts on Pink Shirt Day below.
