CLICK ON ME This is the link for tickets

         You know what I am seriously going to be running fast when I finish writing this, for rehearsal, and that is the wondrous fun of doing d.i.y.  unbudgeted fringe shows!!!  

        I've got pictures to post and progress reports to make, but first things first, The show is coming along and getting to be very fun in rehearsals, this week we put it all together and throw it off a cliff and I think it will be a glider.

        Thankyou and welcome aboard to our sponsors!!     We needed you.

     Bayleys real estate,

     Greg Presland at mylawyer

   especially, and there will be more links and logos coming on up.

    I'm terribly proud of our show, it's a great group, and great venue and great stories, and I am grate-ful for all the support we're getting from my mates and locally in Titirangi.

but remember it's only a three night season, to showcase our company.  Make sure you book as we open in a week.

What doing on Saturday?  Come along to the Fringe launch carnival event in Myers park from 2 - till six. 

    Just a little mayhem, and all the fringe showcasing itself.

     See you there.  G

Not long to go...

  Next gig will be on Wednesday at 121.
  We'll play and Caitlin Smith will play and Anna Kaye too!

Look for our propaganda

Only $5 on the door -see you there.

Ruth McClean née Nicolas with her sister Jeanette

More recording of history has been happening, as I took Ruth over to Lopdell House, and also to the house where she used to live down toward School road.

Last Saturday I met Isaiah and he and his family have agreed that he will come and play a scene with us in our play.  Isaiah is seven years old and has quite a talent.  He loves acting, and is naturally pretty enthusiastic about the idea.

 Next Saturday we'll be in Titirangi village promoting the show, and I'll be interested to hear from anyone with memories of Lopdell house in the 50's 60's and seventies or any time who would like to come and find us.
  We'll be outside the Gone West Books Bookstore.

Last week we had a gig and book launch all proceeds went to helping our play along.
Thanks everyone who came.

I hope you've booked in the 26th of February to come and see us and all the others at the Fringe Launch in Myers Park.

More soon

Pleased to announce.... a surprise element

   We are closer than ever before to the show going on, and it's been decided to have three guests join us on stage:

    Three wonderful actors  Tessa Mitchell, Mat Sunderland, and Regan Taylor.

    They may be a surprise element. If you haven't read this they will be!

    We are all looking forward to finalizing the content of the show.  As it turns out this is the nature of doing a show that involves so much history.  Particularly in this case where there is - new history.
It's fast turnaround, but there's a lot of love and busy-bodying around Titirangi.

    Regan will be playing William Bloomfield the original architect of Lopdell house, and the claim is that he is the earliest architect in the country born of Maori descent.  An interesting character brought to light thanks to the findings of Denys Oldham.  I'm grateful to Denys for his help.

    Tessa Mitchell is the Daughter Of David Mitchell of Mitchell and Stout, ( I know and I'm the daughter of David Mitchell the poet, it could be confusing and it has been in the past!),   Tessa is also an acclaimed actress who has work on stage and screen in New Zealand.

  Mat is known to many for his impressive list of film roles over the last few years in New Zealand, and it's a happy circumstance that he's available to cameo in our show while he's here in Auckland.

  It's great to have you guys on board, and now it's time to knuckle down and write you a part!!  

What must be happening?? THE BOOTH IS HERE!!

Goodness me time flies when you're in the thick of it.

It's the nature of the fringe festival to have exciting and experimental works also to see shows managing on proverbial oily rags but we're putting both to the test.

We have a booth!!
It's been sewn up, and walked in and out of in a celebratory way, I'll show a picture of it soon, meanwhile here is the bundle of calico that it was last week:

and we have a few occasions to air it out in public coming up.  See the link at the top of the page called for BOOTH dates In Titirangi and in Central Auckland.


The BOOTH OF ECHOES AND REMEMBRANCES, is our tent building, it will have a flag and be quite noticeable.

We would like to invite you to come and be filmed in the tent telling us stories about Lopdell house.

Some say they've felt a ghostly presence there before?  Have you?
