Radio Times - Variety Night @ OSPA Theatre

A good old-fashioned variety show

Back in the day before television, people settled down to listen to their radios, enjoying, in particular, the variety shows that featured vocal and instrumental offerings and short plays.

Recreating this format live on stage, Onewhero Society of Performing Arts’ next show is Radio Times, taking place at 7.30pm on Friday 1 November at the OSPA Theatre, Hall Road, Onewhero.

The featured, original play is called An Invitation to Elsinore. Created by senior students from Onewhero Area School’s drama class, it is a lively fusion of Shakespeare’s Hamlet and Tom Stoppard’s Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead.

Musical numbers will be presented by guitarist and singer, Larry Coulter, an award-winning women’s barbershop acapella group, Dave Alley and Rita Carey and Aka Aka’s rising star, Lexi Muir, as well as local ukulele group, The Pukeleles. In addition, talented students from Onewhero Area School will perform vocal and instrumental pieces.

Tickets for this unique mix of music and drama are just $15 for adults and $5 for children up to school-leaving age and are available at www.ospa.org.nz with limited door sales available.
