"Now that it is safe to venture out and gather again, we want to offer something to lift spirits and have a good old laugh," centre manager Sonia Hardie said.
The Māori Sidesteps present their live show while filming for their new series Hari with The Māori Sidesteps to air on Māori TV.
"The group present an evening of song parodies, stunning harmonies and theatrical play as they break down the social idioms that we are presented with in society today and deliver a fresh and enlightening perspective through a Māori lens," Hardie said.
This is a free event but bookings are essential.
The group comprise some of New Zealand's best entertainers including Jamie McCaskill (Shortland Street, Takes a Village), Cohen Holloway (Fresh Eggs, Hunt for the Wilderpeople, Boy), Regan Taylor (Mahana, Pop Up Globe) and Erroll Anderson (Ghost in the Shell, Colonial Combat).
"This talented band of entertainers take audiences on a nostalgic and lively ride with their comedic banter and harmonic prowess."
And it will be the 22-strong Cadenza Choir's first full programme when they perform their Dawn to Dusk concert which will also feature images from photographer Brett Hayvice.
"I had an idea that we could give our audience something really different," director Bridget O'Shanassy said.
"I have always wanted to create some drama within a choral framework, and Brett's images, combined with some local poetry, will help portray an unfolding day."
Each piece will represent a time of day, such as Dolly Parton's Light Of A Clear Blue Morning to Eric Whitacre's storybook setting of Goodnight Moon.
