Pigs on the Run
by Alison Quigan and Troy Tu'ua
11 July - 18 July
An exciting new production “piggy-backing” off last year’s Pasifika youth workshops, Pigs on the Run is a vibrant, modern retelling of The Three Little Pigs filled with contemporary music, bold storytelling, and plenty of heart. Created to celebrate and showcase the incredible Pasifika talent we have here in the Manawatū, this playful and powerful production puts young voices centre stage and reimagines a classic tale for today’s audience.
