WHAT'S SPECIAL ABOUT ME
"Hi there my name is Poe and I am a great pup looking for my forever home. I have not had the best start to life so would love a home that understands my quirks and is keen to help me through them. A home that has the patience and time to help me be the best companion I know I can be. I am super social so I could go a home with another playful dog that loves having a good tumble. I am not suited to a home with young children so would love a home with teenagers, who are keen to teach me new things and take me on adventures. Puppy school is something I am looking forward with my new family, learning things and making new friends. I do come with a medical waiver that my new home would need to be aware of. If you think you are the home for me please contact the canine team for more information."

Silent Spring Revisited: Rachel Carson’s fight for nature
by Jan Bolwell; directed by Annie Ruth

Rachel Carson has been in Jan Bolwell’s life since she was

nine years old. Her conservationist grandmother

introduced her to Carson’s famous book Silent Spring, that

exposed the dangers of the chemical pesticide DDT. Jan

revisits this book through adult eyes, as she plays Rachel

Carson in her !ght for nature.

An exciting creative team has worked collaboratively on

this work - director Annie Ruth, composer Jan Bolton and

lighting designer Helen Todd. Audiences !nd out about

Rachel’s struggle to bring an important environmental

issue into the light. We also are challenged to consider

current ecological and environmental issues in our own

backyard.

Wellington City Council is rapt to be supporting this

custom-built tour of Silent Spring Revisited to local

community centres. This pilot project explores ways in

which artists might build community within some of the

city’s shared suburban buildings.

‘Jan Bolwell shows wit, fluency, precision and charm..’

$15.00 adult, $10 concession and $5 children
