A year on from lockdown there is plenty happening in local drama groups.
Waihi Drama Society held its highly successful acting weekend workshop with Kiwi icon Mark Wright on March 27-28.
After the Whangamata Theatre Society had to postpone Our Special Place, South of the Bombays, which was two months into rehearsal with an incredible cast when we all went into lockdown - the drama is back.

Geoff Wade had never really stepped foot into a theatre before his performance at Boyd Rd last month.
The new-to-Waihi local found himself playing the lead in Waihi Drama Society one-act play Snip in the Fight or Flight summer season. It was his first time under stage lights. I ve never even seen a show. The closest I have even been was watching my kids school productions, he says.
He nabbed the role of Frank in Snip possibly due to a lack of males in the society but he nailed the role, says committee member Jaun Fisher.
