The Hunt for the Canterbury Panther

You’re formally invited to the Shirley-East Cryptozoological Convention — where Aotearoa’s monster hunters gather to share their research into creatures beyond the realm of “modern science”. Rumour has it Naomi Coleridge has caught the Canterbury Panther… but is it real? And what’s that growling coming from the side of the stage?
Grab your tinfoil hat and join Naomi as she faces the trials and tribulations of Aotearoa NZ’s outdoors in pursuit of something greater. Heartfelt, cringey, and very silly, this play explores achievement, family expectations, and self-realisation, with a strong connection to our natural environment.
Best suited for rangatahi aged 10-14 and their families. Contains flashing lights.
Co-writer, Producer and Performer: Anna Barker
