The Girls Show

Eleven exceptional young women from diverse backgrounds have created Massive Company’s newest production The Girls’ Show.

The Girls’ Show draws on the differing backgrounds of the cast members to explore the experiences and stories about being a young New Zealander today.

The cast, which includes young women aged 16-20 years from Māori, Cook Island, Samoan, Chinese and Vietnamese ethnicities, has been working together with directors Sam Scott and Carla Martell to create the show since the beginning of the year.

All the text in the show is written by the cast, except for two quotes, from Sally Vickers The Other Side of You and Agatha Christie "To be alive is a grand thing". 

“A collective journey to the essence of what it means to be young and full of the sheer joy of life." (The Listener NZ)
