These guys take to the stage this coming weekend. They all shone so much at auditions that the creative team had to have them on the Riverlea stage as the myriad of characters who the Walkers meet in their adventures. They also help with all of the busy scene changes and backstage antics of the show. They are the life and soul of the inner workings of the show.

We are especially grateful to have Kyra committed to our production as she drives in for each rehearsal from Raglan. She loves this show that much. She is drawn to any sort of theatre because of the joy of performing and her love of being in someone else's shoes. Kyra was blessed to go to National Youth Drama School and has played as Dodger in Oliver Twists among other roles. She admits she's often been cast as the villain. She is really enjoying the role of Peggy because she gets to be a "feral, pirate child" and we have to agree she steps right into role and livens up the stage with her antics.

You can see Kyrain the Playbox production of
Swallows and Amazons.

HELP WANTED - PAINTING

Saturday 6th June (this weekend!) - 11am onwards at Riverlea Theatre.

Hi everyone, we need some help with painting for the upcoming Swallows and Amazons show.
If you could spare some time on Saturday, put on some old clothes and come down and help our Chief Mech Hugh Field, that would be greatly appreciated.

If you have an artistic background or any experience with landscape or mural painting, we especially could use your help!

Thanks! 😁

We welcome Mila Bremner to the Riverlea stage, performing as Nancy, leader of the Amazon Pirates.
Mila comes to us from Hillcrest High School where she has performed with their experienced Drama Department. Last year she performed as Cléante in the play Tartuffe. This year so far she performed as Sir Hugh Evans in Merry Wives of Windsor for the school's Sheilah Winn entry and looks forward to further opportunities there.

Mila also enjoys being involved backstage in the theatre, most recently she worked as lighting operator for 13 the musical in Morrinsville.

She is excited to be involved in this production learning about and from a theatre that is new to her, with a group of likeminded individuals.

You can see Mila in the Playbox production of
Swallows and Amazons.
