Bethany is the Queen of Resourcefulness. In her quirky (and musical!) storytelling show, Bethany opens up about her tips, tricks and the frightful lengths she's gone to, to save food, money... well anything and everything really. It’s a hot handy hack guide for all, a celebration of weird uniqueness, and a microscope into hoarding.
After an award-nominated debut at NZ Fringe, Thrift Life has travelled to Dunedin Fringe, Christchurch’s Little Andromeda, and Nelson Fringe where it was due to headline, before instead gracing the Virtual Festival stage, receiving 3 award nominations for Best Solo Show, Best Design and Best Script. We can’t wait to at last bring Thrift Life, live, back to Te-Whanganui-a-Tara!
Waste Not Want Not joins NZ Improv Fest as a work not traditionally considered improv - but one that embraces spontaneity and highlights the huge crossovers between what we consider theatre vs improv. We're thrilled to host it for 2020!
