Join us to launch Outside the Square's inaugural writing series. There will be a reading of Sofya's Garden, Renee Liang (Glucina)'s play for children featuring live music, Renee's trademark humour and puppets (if you're lucky). This will be followed by A Botanical Sublime where writers Paula Morris, Nina Seja, Ann Poulsen, and Renee Liang will read excerpts from their work and discuss the way Henderson's people, places, and botanical past influenced their writing process. 

A fun filled day of story-telling from the wide world right here in our back yard including stories in multiple languages from Asia, the Pacific Islands, the north and south hemispheres and Aotearoa! 

Te Reo Māori Theatre show for rangatahi Hinepau is adapted from a classic children’s book written by Gavin Bishop and first published in 1993. The 2017 production uses te reo Māori-speaking actors to present a mythical story about respecting your environment and staying true to yourself.
