Invitation to a Mad Teaparty

 

Wondering how to fill in a wet and cold day in the school holidays? Maungaturoto’s Otamatea Repertory Theatre (ORT) is bringing another classic tale to the stage from July 4 to 19.

Lewis Carroll’s family classic Alice In Wonderland, which turns 150 this year, has delighted and puzzled us in equal measure. We have fallen down the rabbit hole with Alice, taken tea with her and the Mad Hatter, been maddened by the Cheshire Cat and had to convince the Queen of Hearts that we didn’t steal her tarts.

This year ORT is adding an extra feature, with the inclusion of a Mad Hatters’ Tea Party to be held at the Maungaturoto Country Club an hour before each of the matinee performances. 

Wear your own Mad Hat for a chance to win prizes and join in the fun, games and hilarity – then follow the white rabbit down the hole and into the theatre. What a great way to spend a school holiday afternoon! Bookings taken now. Pre-book and pre-pay discounts online at ort.org.nz or at Tony’s Lotto Shop in Maungaturoto. No door sales.
