May at the OC

If you missed it earlier this year, H.R. The Musical – written by the Ockham Collective's Amy Mansfield – is returning for the International Comedy Festival, starting at Auckland's Q Theatre before heading to Wellington and Christchurch. The first five Auckland nights have already sold out, so an extra performance has been scheduled for Tuesday 14 May. If you don't want to miss out, get your tickets now.

Ockham Collective alumna Lucie Blaze will be bringing another of her panel-discussion nights to The Nix on Thursday 23 May. The theme 'Using Creativity as a Form of Activism' will be discussed by a panel comprised of digital sustainability advocate Kyoko Locussol, multi-media environmental artist Mandy Patmore and actress Renée Sheridan. Tickets are $15, available through eventbrite.
