Dear Friends, welcome to a month of FESTIVAL & FUN at the Isaac!
After 2 years of planning the 2009 Christchurch Arts Festival arrives
in the central city with a programme to blast away those winter blues and put
a smile on the face of the WinterGarden
City! A packed CAF
programme hits all major venues across town with the Isaac Theatre Royal
being the host of THREE of the Main Events. We're proud to be associated with
CAF 2009 and hope to see you at The Isaac for a rather special Festival this
year. All CAF
details below, but first some Front Of Housekeeping...
Neil - General Manager
Shirley Valentine
|
Close to 1100 people turned out in mid June for the fabulous
Shirley Valentine one-night production at the Isaac featuring the amazing
Nancy Schroder in the solo role as the hilarious, frank & gorgeous
Shirley Valentine.
Excellent reviews and great audience response means we'll
definitely bring this fine production back to The Isaac closer to Xmas this
year for another one-night stand! So if you missed out this time don't
despair, you'll find out all details first here on 'Royal Friends'...
Most importantly though ticket & cocktail sales + bucket
collections on the night raised $2000 for the NZ Breast Cancer Foundation.
Thank you!

Shirley show in our 'Friends Bring Friends' competition last month.
