Tell Me Tauranga | Kōrerohia Mai

True stories told live by an exceptional selection of local storytellers.

Storytelling is the bridge that connects people, cultures and generations.  It teaches us that we share common hopes, dreams and struggles beneath our differences.

This year’s theme “Legacy” acknowledges our founder Dawn Picken's remarkable legacy - as well as offering a stage for others to talk about the impact of legacy in their lives.

As in previous years, we have a line-up of fabulous storytellers for you to listen to on the night. 

Clarissa Van Emmenes

Vince Ford

Rhema Chatiya Nantham

Xena Jones

Josie Calcott

Wiremu Matthews

Janet Hughes

Syed Qadri

As there may be some mature content in our final story line-up, we do not recommend this event as being suitable for younger children.

Come alone, with a friend or organise a group.  Premium seating is available immediately in front of the stage.  

Ticket prices include pre-performance nibbles.  A cash bar will be available.

This is a community-organised event brought to you with the assistance of Creative Communities NZ.
