The Dominion Post season of MAGNOLIA STREET

Capital E National Theatre for Children presents:

The Dominion Post season of MAGNOLIA STREET

On this street you’ll discover that magnolia trees have hearts, unexpected friendships are the best kind, and 1944 can be just around the corner.

Using cutting edge multimedia and electronics to blur the line between what’s imagined and what’s real, Australia’s Frank Newman directs with his trademark combination of sharp storytelling and beautifully surprising animation.

“Magnolia Street is a funny, fast paced play, created by a talented group of people,” says director Frank Newman. “The show was produced using a creative mix of investigation and playfulness. The entire artistic team contributed in many ways towards the final product with the best ideas rising to the surface. As a non- Wellingtonian it was a pleasure to work with people at the top of their game and to work in such a supportive and inspiring environment. It really feels like Wellington punches well above its weight for the quality and the quantity of the theatre it produces.”

Hold your breath — you're arriving at Magnolia Street.

“Newman’s latest theatrical experiment, housed at New Zealand’s Capital E …is allowing him to explore the most cutting-edge and unexpected ways to reinvent the experience of theatre for young audiences.” - TYA Today, USA, 2012
