First time under stage lights for Waihi Drama Society newbie Geoff 10 Mar, 2021 08:26 PM 6 minutes to read Bay of Plenty Times By: Rebecca Mauger 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.
