Boys from a New Era

Join us for an evening of laughter, insight and imagination with a rehearsed reading of a bold new play-in-progress.

Written by a talented emerging local writer and brought to life by a vibrant cast, this is a unique opportunity to witness a new work at the exciting stage of development, from script to stage.

This group of passionate young creatives have been working to lift the story off the page and into performance, inviting you to listen, watch, and envision how it might unfold as a full-scale production in the future.

Set in Whangārei, 2025, the play follows Isaac and Hugo – two teenagers navigating the messiness of family tension and personal discovery.
