Company Theatre’s rendering of Oscar Wilde’s “The Importance of being Earnest” was a marvellous success.

Director Anne Rimmer told me the cast were a delight, very happy with the way it was all going and the customers always seem happy too. Bring on November and Roger Hall’s “Last Legs”, with one of the leads being our very own Sue Dowling, a Board member here at The Rose Centre Inc.  

Belmont Primary School is moving in to The Rose Centre for most of September with their school show. Look out for news from the school if you’re a parent or supporter.

Everyone’s favourite North Shore singing group is back! The Rose Singers present “Bring Down the Curtain”, 8pm shows October 4-6 and 2pm matinees October 6 & 7. Fun, laughter and good old music hall-style sing along is all part of the fun at a Rose Singers event, and what’s more, they do good with the proceeds making donations of basically all their revenues.

Every Tuesday morning through winter the Devonport Peninsula Trust deliver Preschool Play at The Rose Centre. It’s an amazing cacophony of fun and play for parents with young kids mostly toddlers, just having great fun with each other. If you’re a parent at home with youngsters, come on down to The Rose Centre. It’s a totally free event with the support of the Devonport/Takapuna Local Board for both the Devonport Peninsula Trust and The Rose Centre Inc.

Let’s end with an early October diary date: 

Dave Veart will be back to present a RoseTalk entitled “Meet the Devonport Peninsula’s Military Men”. This will be a night of revelation and some hilarity as we meet some of the better military personalities of our local past. Dave’s last presentation was massively successful. The doors will open at 7pm for a 7.30pm start and we’ll stop letting people in at a head count of 132. Don’t miss out on The Rose Centre’s contribution to Auckland Heritage Festival.
