The Whangārei Fringe Festival 2022 has hit the district's doorstep and is promising two weeks of weird and wonderful creativity.
What started as a living room musical will soon be hitting the main stage at Whangārei Fringe Festival.
Put Up and Shut Up! is a boundary-breaking musical with an unexpected theme by Northland-based musician and composer Sarah Macombee.
The musical features fellow Northlander Julie Edwards and is based on themes of teenage pregnancy and forced adoption - but the pair promise it is "extremely watchable".
"Even though there's a lot of tragedy, and there's some tragedy in all of our lives, comedy gets you through," Macombee said.
