95bFM: Stage Direction

Zoë's studying but my golly does she have some theatre reckons for you? MANIAC on the Dance Floor and Kitchen Table Sessions are both on at Basement, a great way to spend a stormy weekend. Plus, Sexy Buddha is on at Pitt St Theatre, also bound to be a great time.

This segment's not just about penguin noods and drunken soldiers, though you might be fooled, Zoë has some good recommendation's for your rainy weekend, Heat at Basement Theatre, Things I Know to be True at Ellerslie Theatre and some opera, The Barber of Seville at ASB Waterfront Theatre, wowee.

It's a weekend for epic poems, according to Zoë and on this stormy weekend, she reckons you've gotta get along to Meera, and An Iliad. And if you're more interesting in the artificial intelligence world, Synthetic is where it's at for you this weekend. 

Zoë's here to give us the lowdown on where you can get your last laughs as the NZ Comedy Festival comes to a close this weekend. Her top picks include, Kura Forrester's Kura Shoulda Woulda, David Correos' Better Than I Was the Last Time and Brynley Stent's Filthy Little Goblin.

Zoë joins us with Marianne from Proudly Asian Theatre and playright, Hweiling Ow to chat with Rachel about what's going on in the theatre world, the support in their communities and life, death and vibrators. So you definitely don't want to miss out on Fresh off the Page.

It's our last catch up with Johanna for a little while and what a note to end on, the NZ Comedy Festival! Johanna's got some hot pics for Rachel, but she reckons you've got to get in quick before they sell out. If you're looking for laughs, to get decked (Rachel's term) or floored (Johanna's term), then get your tickets here.

Johanna joins Mikey to talk laughing shoes, and laughing shows aka the NZ International Comedy Festival. She reckons this week, you better get along to Emma Newborn, Jamali Maddix, Tom Clark and Demi Lardner.

Johanna just wants one more plug for HeadSand, but also reckons you should get out Woven Womxn, before karma gets us and Only Bones v1.0. She's also very grateful for the patron who gave her a pie last night, very grateful.

Johanna comes in with a stunning line up of goodies at the Basement Theatre in the next few weeks, she reckons you should check out before karma gets us, Women of Citrus, and Rose Matafeo's award-winning Horndog.

Johanna's one of the many great preformers in the upcoming show HeadSand, and brings in guest, Benjamin Henson who wrote and is directing the show. Talking about challenges, exciting points and what to expect from next week's show. Johanna also reckons you should check out My Kuia at the Basement theatre.
