Plays sure to raise a laugh
A short attention span is all you need for some of the best theatrical entertainment you'll see.
Playwriting comp Pint-Sized Plays — plays lasting 10 to 15 minutes max — returns to Queenstown next week with shows on Thursday and Friday at Frankton's The Matrix Lounge, from 7pm, followed by two shows in Bannockburn the following day.
Organised by Queenstown's Remarkable Theatre, it attracts plays from around the world.
Each also has to have no more than three actors, and minimal props.
Local actors will perform five of the plays, with the other three featuring Cromwell talent.
Once again, comedy's very prevalent — seven of the plays are comedies, with two of them dark comedies.
"Everyone likes a good laugh," production manager Sophie Kennedy says.
Two are intriguingly entitled 200 Below Zero and Happy Husband Hunting.
Each show's winning play is decidedby audience vote with votesaggregated to find the overall winner.
Tickets $30 plus booking fees from Humanitix.

St John to the rescue

PHOTO: PHILIP CHANDLER For Queenstown's Remarkable Theatre, it makes a neat plot. Having been homeless since the lease on their former St John ambulance station rehearsal room expired early this year, the theatre company's landed a community room in St John's current Douglas St premises. In an act of generosity, St John's given it free use of the space in which it's rehearsing up to four times a week for its September production of the Kiwi comedy, Take a Chance on Me. "Since we left, we've been looking for places," Remarkable Theatre president Chris MacKenzie says, "and while there's some things maybe in the pipeline, we needed some places to use for maybe the next year or two." He adds it's good to find somewhere in Frankton, as it's central for many cast, and the particular room they're using has similar dimensions to the Arrowtown Athenaeum Hall stage they'll perform on. As a bonus, as director T. Ryan Brennan pointed out to the cast last Sunday, the noise of planes overhead encourages them to project their voices better. MacKenzie says as a "thank you" they'll give some free tickets to St John personnel and invite them to attend the final dress rehearsal. Bookings for Take a Chance on Me, running from September 11 to 20, open via Humanitix tomorrow.

Returning pianist to perform

Photo: supplied Dunedin pianist Abhinath Berry is home for a visit during the summer break from his studies at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in London and will share his music with local audiences in a series of concerts. Berry will give a recital for Dunedin music lovers next Friday, July 11, from 7pm at Hanover Hall, playing works by Ravel, Corigliano, Gerswhin-Wild, and Liszt. Tickets are available online via humanitix or at the door. He will also give concerts in Wellington and Wānaka this month. Berry has just completed his first year of postgraduate study in piano at the Guildhall, and will return to London later in the year to undertake his second year towards a master of performance qualification. After studying the piano in Dunedin, winning prizes, and fundraising through numerous recitals, Berry was awarded a $21,000 scholarship to cover Guildhall fees, and departed last August for London. The talented pianist was mainly self-taught until he was accepted to study at the University of Otago and had his first formal lessons. He also sang in the Otago Boys' High School Choir, under conductor Karen Knudson. After studying piano with Prof Terence Dennis and composition with Prof Anthony Ritchie, Prof Peter Adams and Dunedin-based composer Ken Young, Berry graduated with a BMus (Hons) in performance and composition in 2022. He placed second in the inaugural Dunedin Concerto Competition in 2021.

Psychic back on tour after ‘calling' to return
Psychic medium Deb Webber is back on the road and will be in Timaru on July 3. PHOTO: SUPPLIED When Covid shut down countries, Deb Webber felt a bit relieved. The Australian-based psychic medium had been on the road for more than 20 years and admitted to being tired of travelling and living out of a suitcase. She said she had been thinking for a while about bowing out of performing shows, but they were a way to help larger numbers of people, and she hated saying no and disappointing people. "I could help one person one-on-one, or I could help more people at the same time." So when Covid took the decision out of her hands, it was something of a blessing. But a year ago, she had a strong feeling that she needed to get back out on the road. "I said, I'm not going to go on the road again, I'll do workshops at home, and readings at home and my newsletter. "But about 12 months ago, I got this urge, this calling, that I've got to get back out there, and it kept eating at me, but it took me about a year to go, 'oh, OK'. "I don't know how long I will do them for, but I do love being out there and meeting people, helping people. I get a buzz helping others." Ms Webber has since held a few shows in Australia and New Zealand and is coming to Timaru for a show on July 3 at the Landing Service Conference Centre. Her shows are generally to an audience of about 100; the smaller numbers make it more personal, and there is a better chance of someone having contact as she moves around the audience. She says a good show is when the souls come in clear, fast and accurate and the energy is clean and easy to read. A difficult show would be one in which the energy is dark, heavy and sad. Every show is different. Webber held a couple of shows in Timaru some years ago, and she was involved in a local case for the Sensing Murder television show. Tickets for the July 3 show are available online at Humanitix. The Courier has a double pass to Deb Webber's Timaru show to give away. Email with your name and contact phone number and put "Deb Webber tickets" in the subject line. Entries close at 5pm on Monday, June 30.
