The Tittles!

So, here’s the pickle: 

The Tittles - the world’s most beloved children's group - have crashed in a horrific disaster on their way to their FINAL show in Wellington! And to make matters worse, they’re stuck in Blenheim!

While cruising through the South Island as part of their Kiwi Kiddles Tour, their car swerved to avoid a big ol’ cow, and ended up plunging straight into the river.

The entire tour setup, from their set materials to their puppet friends, are now sinking into the waters, never to be seen again. Props? Waterlogged. Costumes? Submerged. The one draft of the poster Cate drew by hand? Fish Food. The Tittles' ego and joy - the tools that make their legendary performances so unforgettable -  are now one with the riverbed.

Here’s the jar for the pickle:

The Tittles’ need $6000 to cover the costs of replacing everything that was lost in the watery wreckage, including the settlement money for the cow that ended up as mince along the road, and a second-hand 2008 Mazda Demio. 

The show must go on!

JUST KIDDING!

We are TIT 4 TAT Theatre - a collective of diverse theatre makers based in Pōneke! Our cast and crew are a powerhouse of emerging talent from the POC, queer,  neurodivergent, disabled communities. We’re here to create an inclusive space for these communities to hone their craft, and amplify their voices. 

The Tittles! is a 60 minute dark-comedy devised by Amelia Newman-Woods, Cate Sharma and Hellena Faasili. The Tittles! explores themes of nostalgia, fear of change, and accepting adulthood, all under the guise of an interactive adult-kid's show - why shouldn’t the audience join in on the fun!

There will be cake, musical chairs, blood, and lot's and lot's of fun!

Join our Tittles as they confront their fears, embrace their flaws, and navigate their way through their last party that's anything but ordinary.

• Beneath the giggles, TIT 4 TAT Theatre want to tell a story that resonates with themes of growth, loss, and change - experiences universally felt but rarely explored with such chaos and crazy. 
• The Tittles! empowers and amplifies diverse voices in the theatre scene, providing a platform for female, non-binary, queer, neurodivergent, disabled and POC communities to showcase their talents in an inclusive space. 
• We want to create a space that invites both laughter and reflection, where audiences can play, feel, and connect with their own experiences of change, the show reminds us that growth is messy, life is unpredictable, and - no matter what - the show must go on.
