He Aka Torongā Extending the Vine

Join theatre-makers from across Aotearoa as we gather in Wellington for He Aka Torongā | Extending the Vine, a weekend dedicated to strengthening connections, sharing knowledge and celebrating the people who make community theatre thrive.

Inspired by the idea of growth through connection, He Aka Torongā recognises that our strength lies in the relationships we build, the stories we share and the support we provide one another. Whether you're a performer, director, choreographer, musical director, technician, producer, committee member or volunteer, this event is designed for everyone who contributes to the success of musical theatre in Aotearoa.

While we're not quite ready to reveal the full programme, we're already working behind the scenes to create an unforgettable weekend that will build on the success of previous MTNZ events.
