Rarotonga Shows How

Since the formation of the Rarotonga Amateur Players about 12 months ago, six plays have been presented as readings, but the recent presentation of a live play, “Castle in the Air", at Rarotonga's Empire Theatre, was regarded as an ambitious undertaking. Previously full-scale productions were considered to be impossible because of the lack of equipment, including lighting and props. However, every body agreed that this presentation was a success (with special credit to Mr. L. Bailey) and that more amateur theatricals could be expected in the future. Above, in a scene from the play, are local players Gale Hanson, Barry Burnett (hidden), Judy Say well and Beverley Holland. Photo: R . D. Moore
