WEDNESDAY 17th AUGUST

Closing nights for Chalk and Glorious - should be a big one...

Win cool stuff!

Was Robert Muldoon really NZs most evil Prime Minister ever? To be in to win a double pass to the opening of slouching toward bethlehem and find out, simply tell me your favourite fictional evil leader. For me it's a tie between Darth Vader and Sauron. I'm a geek...

Congrats to last weeks winner Julia Capon who will be joining us for the opening night of Chalk. Awesome!
