Donors wanted for operation

Ever wanted to help kick-start someones career and help them up-skill in areas of theatre they have always been interested but never got the chance to try out? Well now you can! Playhouse Productions NZ are a brand new theatre company heading into the 2015 New Zealand Fringe Festival with their first show Surgery In Mind.  The aim of Playhouse Productions NZ is to allow opportunities for people interested in theatre to up-skill and educate themselves from start to scratch about how to produce a theatre show. Each person in the team has worked many years in theatre, music and fashion and are now learning about different areas such as writing, directing, production management, stage management costume for theatre, composing for theatre and publicity among other things in order to advance their knowledge and their career.

Playhouse Productions NZ was formed in the middle of 2014 when Evangelina and Vanessa bonded over their mutual passion for theatre. After coffee chats and idea throwing, they decided to produce a work in the 2015 NZ Fringe Festival. Both girls have numerous skills and experiences in the theatre industry however, are taking on new challenges this season with writing, directing and producing Evangelina's latest play "Surgery In Mind". The girls then sought after a passionate design team to help with the production and have formed what is now known as Playhouse Productions NZ. The team can't wait to show their work to the 2015 Fringe festival artists and audiences.

The play

SURGERY IN MIND: Young Lena needs to have a tumour removed from her brain. She is put to sleep but wakes up in her mind's Underworld with a quest of discovery to complete. Through classical Greek figures that she battles and befriends, Lena learns about perception, emotion and choice but is it too late?

The project

As Playhouse Productions NZ are brand new, we are seeking $1000 from donors to help us put on this new work. We have been working on this for many months and would love to actually get it onto the Gryphon Theatre stage in February 2015.
