'Era and the Carbonauts' - Fun for the whole family!
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - A NEW ERA RETURNS IN SUMMER SHOW SEQUEL LAKE HOUSE ARTS
Era and the Carbonauts! “Era is on a mission to reduce our emissions.”
Last summer the very popular family show Era and the Kaitiaki, enabled over 1500 families
to safely see theatre at a new outdoor pavilion at Lake House Arts during Traffic Light Red
Setting.
They learned and had a ball with Era, a young girl learning about Kaitiakitanga
(Guardianship) and recycling in English and Te Reo with the help of some magical friends.
This summer Era and the Carbonauts! follows the further adventures of Era and her
friends-
“In the future, Era meets the mysterious Carbonauts, who send her and Kaitiaki on and
adventure in time to team up with her friends and whanau so they can, through the power of
Kotahitanga (togetherness), save the world!”
Puppets, mask, song and dance, Te Reo Maori and kids in the audience participating in
problem solving are all a part of the magical Era experience.
The show features the acting talents of Alex Medland (Era), Geoff Allen (Tabor, Era’s father)
and Denise Snoad (Kiwi, Wormy and Carbonaut) all returning from last years show while
Adam Burrell (Kaitiaki) and Raj Varma (Kiwi, Wormy, Carboaunt) join the creative team. The
show is written and directed by Grae Burton, with music and lyrics by Peter J. Grahame and
Te Reo translations by Geoff Allen.
Director Grae Burton is very excited to get the next season underway-
“First and foremost Era and the Carbonauts! Is a roller-coaster adventure with catchy
songs, crazy characters and family fun. The original Era and the Kaitiaki was created over
20 years ago, performed all over New Zealand and was revived for a successful and
challenging summer season. For Era and the Carbonauts! we know that families will love
to learn about the power of Kotahitanga (togetherness) and how simple things they can do
every day can really make a difference for the planet we leave our future generations.”
This summer’s season is planned for January 12 - 22, 2023.
