2025 Theatre Event
Matariki Glow Show

The magical Matariki Glow Show will tour New Zealand from May 2025, through the school terms and holidays! The Glow Show is an extraordinary experience that educates as it entertains,
delivering an utterly original event for all the family.
This year, the Glow Show tells the story of te k?hui whet? o Matariki (the star cluster/wh?nau of Matariki) as they gather to light up the skies for te tau hou M?ori (M?ori New Year). But
where is the smallest star, Waipuna-a-rangi? Could the little one be lost in the moana?
The Glow Show brings the beautiful Matariki myths to life with its unique puppets, intriguing tamariki wherever it goes.
Delightfully told in te reo M?ori and English, the Matariki Glow Show shares themes of whakawhanaungatanga, friendship and togetherness. It offers a truly memorable experience with
positive and uplifting messages for tamariki. Don’t miss out - book now!
