"This is the fifth show I've done with Repertory Theatre ", Russell Penton told me.
"I was in the rehearsed readings earlier this year, the Heritage Weekend last year, 'The Daylight Atheist ' and the one we've just done this year, " Shenanigans Wake'"."
Russell returned to New Zealand from Australia a year or two ago and has been active in Whanganui theatre ever since.
While he was working in Sydney he managed to get a lot of work as a film extra.
"I enjoyed that but there's quite a lot of waiting around though," he said.
