"The best thing about CreationFest is that there's something for everyone - even the littlies. They may not have been old enough to enter the big competition, but we'd still love for them to make something."
And the creativity continues with the second matinee performance on Wednesday, July 16, where audience members of all ages are invited to attend the Mad Hatter's Tea Party. Those who attend the matinee have the opportunity to join in the festivities by creating and wearing their own decorative hat. Both matinees are sponsored by First Sovereign Trust, with an invitation particularly extended to the elderly to attend the Wednesday show. The Mad Hatter will also be serving high tea, with dainty cakes, lemonade scones and all the trimmings.
The three evening sessions are also themed, from Thrifty Thursday's casual to dazzle dress code, the Rotorua Daily Post People's Choice evening featuring festive funky style, and the grand finale Gala Awards Evening including a cocktail hour and formal but whimsical black tie dress code. Evening shows also include dinner packages for those wanting to make a real occasion of the night.
CreationFest is on over five shows from July 15 to 19. Tickets are on sale now, with bookings essential for all performances. For more information visit www.creationfest.co.nz.
