Calling all Pōneke improvisors: it is time to gather and celebrate the year-that-was-last-year in this very serious, very official, very fancy awards ceremony and party!

You are cordially invited to the third annual IMPROVISOR OF THE YEAR Awards. All improvisors who have performed, practiced, directed, taught, learned, and otherwise engaged with improv in Pōneke are eligible, and all are encouraged to attend. Please share with your companies and communities.

NOMINATIONS WILL BE COLLECTED ON THE NIGHT
GENUINELY EVERYONE IS ELIGIBLE

This GALA event will take place from 4pm at Southern Cross Garden Bar in the Guest Room (the private room beyond the bar to the left) and feature the awards ceremony proper at 5:30pm. Stay until the bar says 'please go home it's Sunday'.

Tix $10 to cover hire and kai. Please get yours early!
Partners and kids also welcome (no tix needed for kids)
Dress: Awards but make it Christmas/Summer

Covid Safety: Don't come if you're sick! Windows will be open! Bring your mask!

Jill Bernard (Minneapolis) shares her method of creating spontaneous characters, VAPAPO along with a selection of joyful essays, perfect for the beginner improvisor looking for more and the experienced pro looking to refresh. This tiny book is an easy way to get more into the scene and less into your head with shortcuts to fuller, playful characters.

We have a small supply of the last copies of the 4th edition, available for postage to New Zealand and Australia (shipped weekly). Want to pick up your copy in Wellington? Enter the coupon code PONEKEPICKUP to get free shipping and we'll be in touch.
