The Rose Centre hosted the gala evening for the opening of the RC Rangitahi's inaugural amateur production on Friday 15 March. Under the direction of the Rose Centre's Geoff Allen, this talented group of local youth aged between 16 and 25 collaborated to perform their version of Shakespeare's timeless masterpiece, 'Twelfth Night'. It was a wonderful evening of culture, entertainment and celebration. The Youth Shakespeare Troupe diligently created, rehearsed and remixed one of Shakespeare's funniest plays to bring this classic comedy to life with true originality. What a fantastic production it was – ka pai to cast and crew!
