Banana Boat Business
Big ups to Maureen Fepulea’i whose play Ono Tama’i Pato was a 2010 Adam New Zealand Play Award shortlistee. Maureen survived a Newbies Workshop run in Manukau last year.
News to Use
Poets Robert Sullivan and Courtney Meredith are running a Writing Workshop at the Fresh Gallery in Otara on FRIDAY 11 FEBRUARY.

The Playmarket and Banana Boat Creative Clinics are back and they want to take YOU and YOUR PLAY to the next level. The deadline for submitting your play is FRIDAY 18 FEBRUARY.
The Newbie Writers Workshop is also back: TUESDAY 8 MARCH at The Edge in Auckland CBD. Best register quick to secure a place.
Script Reading
GRANT and LEILANI each shared a monologue they’ve been tinkering with lately.
GRANT’s My Friend Jack and LEILANI’s Girlville couldn’t be more different – each piece engaged those listening and initiated lengthy discussion. We look forward to their presentations out in the world!
Next Fono
– will be on THURSDAY 24 FEBRUARY 2011 at the MANGERE ARTS CENTRE, Corner of Orly Avenue and Bader Drive, Mangere Town Centre. This will be Banana Boat’s first fono south of Grey Lynn – long overdue and, we hope, the first of many.
