Feature: OPENING NIGHT at Face TV Sky 83 Image

The profile of New Zeland Theatre is being lifted and brought into our living rooms with a television show dedicated to the promotion and stories around the lives of those involved In NZ Theatre Productions.

Hosted by well-known Television Presenter Louise Wallace, the show will focus on live theatre being produced around the country.

Wallace has a personal interest in theatre being a trained actor herself, working within the NZ theatre scene as both performer and owner of Tadpole Productions producing shows at The Pumphouse Theatre on Auckland's North Shore.

Her first-hand knowledge of the NZ Theatre and relationships with many NZ Theatre identities helps bring an authenticity and depth to the show. Wallace has a very amiable style and uses her knowledge to draw on interesting aspects of life as an actor in New Zealand as well as to provoke interest in attending shows.

Produced by Face TV and being aired on Sky 83 on Tuesdays at 8 pm, the show is also accessible on demand.
The very first show can be seen here:
