online engagement, school

A DECLINE in numbers over
the last four years has the
Sumner Theatre Group looking
for more members.
Group secretary Karen
Hallsworth said since the
earthquakes numbers have been
dropping.
“Following the earthquakes,
people had so much on it wasn’t
the most important thing on people’s
minds,” Ms Hallsworth said.
The group currently has 13
cast, five band members, and
four to five support crew.
They have recruiting evenings
every year to encourage other
locals to get involved.
“People come to the show and
want to get involved and we
encourage them to come along
to the sign-up night,” she said.
This amateur group has been
running for more than 50 years,
putting on annual cabaret
shows to a high standard, on a
voluntary basis, to raise funds
for local community groups.
Every year they put on a show

ahead of this year’s performance. ​
for four weeks, beginning Friday
August 18 and ending Saturday
September 9.
Rehearsals for the next show
begin on Sunday, May 14 and
are held weekly on Sunday and
Monday nights.
Local community groups are
involved in selling the tickets
and whatever profit is made they
get to keep.
The recruiting evening is
being held on Sunday, May 7 at
7pm in the temporary Sumner
Community Centre at 22
Wiggins St, Sumner.
If anyone is interested in
joining the group or wants

culture is being served up in the
town of Little River. From May 6,
Little River Gallery will be exhibiting
works by artists Robin Slow and
Brian Flintoff.
Titled ‘Whare Huruhuru Manu,’
the exhibition of Slow’s lyrical
paintings show the cultural stories
of Maori past and present with
luscious depth using symbols and
motifs in precious oxides. Flintoff’s
delicately carved instruments in
bone and native timbers add to
breadth of the exhibition.
There is a further dimension to the
exhibition, music composed and
played by Bob Bickerton, inspired
by Robin’s paintings and using
Brian’s instruments. CD’s and
DVD’s featuring all three artists
work are available.
