This project is a response to the Palmerston North 150 year celebration. How quickly we can lose our history, forget those or what came before, or forget the meaning of what we have now. Do we value our local stories? Do we hear or see them enough? Do we tell of our own struggles, to be who we are now - in this city? Who we are can be so many things. The grand artistic ladies of Palmerston North Evelyn Rawlins and Gwen Gibbs will be brought to life, we will explore flax farming, Te Marae o Hine, the life of a farming woman and the significance of our diverse cultural heritage.

	Simple Truth Theatre presents Come First and Vagina Monologues WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 8, 7:00PM THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 9, 7:00PM FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 10, 7:00PM Directed by Rhian Firmin & Poppy Serano Simple Truth Theatre Presents a double billing of: ‘Come First’ A newly devised work created collaboratively by a group of strong local wāhine who are working together for the very first time. Come First gives the audience snapshots into the lives of these wāhine and is a celebration of the wāhine in our community. The piece is open and non-linear in it’s telling and allows these fierce wāhine a safe space to allow their voices and stories to be heard. AND ‘The Vagina Monologues’ By Eve Ensler This small but dramatically funny, tender, provocative and ultimately political piece is a series of interviews with a diverse group of women about their vaginas: young and old, married and single; heterosexual, bisexual, and lesbian; working class women, professional women, and sex workers; women of various races and more. The creation of this particular showing so far has seen this local stellar all-female cast unpicking the script, diving into the stories of the of the Vagina Monologues and focussing on finding connection and communication. They have been uncovering the truth and heart in each and every women’s voice and explored many topics such as: sex, relationships, sexual violence, sex work, menstruation, and more, and we get to meet women from all corners of the world. R16 - these pieces contain some coarse language, sexual references and sexual abuse references. Tickets available HERE or from the Globe Theatre box office Admission $25 Concession $12.50
	Niko Ne Zna FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 10, 8:00PM Combining driving rhythms, melodic brass and beautifully alluring vocals, Niko Ne Zna creates unforgettable moments for their audiences. The 9-piece band have firmly cemented themselves as one of New Zealand's premiere and sought after world music groups, complete with wonderfully hypnotic melodies and cerebral rhythms that draw from the Balkan region. Based in New Zealand’s creative and cultural capital of Wellington, all nine members are formidable instrumentalists and composers in their own right. Their current lineup consists of two trumpets, soprano saxophone, bass and tenor trombones, sousaphone, balkan bass drum (tapan) and snare drum, an exotic cocktail of instrumentation and musicianship that creates an atmosphere and vibe like no other. To top it off, their vocalist/percussionist Nikkie Rich sings in multiple languages, including Serbo-Croatian, Romani, Macedonian, Greek and English. In addition to creating a strong back catalogue of original music, they have become notorious for their immense live shows that display undeniable passion, fuelled by their adoration for bringing people of all walks of life together. Choreographed dance moves and captivating theatrics fuse in harmony with their music, regardless of whether they’re performing impromptu on the streets, doing roaming/acoustic shows or letting loose on the big international stage. 2021 marks the band's 10 year anniversary. Over the decade, they have regularly toured their home islands of New Zealand, and have performed multiple sold out shows in Australia. They were showstoppers at the WOMAD Festival NZ in 2019, have had three of their original songs featured in the internationally-acclaimed film 'What We Do In The Shadows', and have released two well-received full albums. Currently in the studio working on their 3rd album, their next piece of work guarantees more of their signature grooves and uplifting vibes that'll keep fans dancing, singing, clapping and stomping from the kitchen to the car, throughout the night. The concert is General Admission and we are removing the front three rows of seats to create a dance floor so you can come on down and get with the rhythm.
