After a year that saw Broadway and the West End face a seemingly never-ending curtain call, local audiences can rest assured that the pandemic won t stop Auckland artists from putting on a show this year.
While the Level 4 lockdown in March sent a seismic jolt through the country s artistic community, cancelling dozens of shows and festivals and forcing numerous venues to shut their doors for months on end, theatre and arts organisers are hoping 2021 will deliver a better performance.
In the first half of the year alone, Aucklanders will be able to enjoy live comedy, catch up with their favourite local authors, and experience a plethora of theatre, dance and music spread across a broad-range of festivals that are making a comeback after being forced to take the last year off.
