Hi!
Thanks for the write-up. I thought I’d let you know that Game On was selected for the top twenty and will be performed at the Herald Theatre (part of the EDGE complex in Auckland) on Tuesday 5th and Wednesday 6th July at 7pm, and on Thursday 7th – Saturday 9th July at 8pm. If it gets picked by the judges or the audience as one of the best three in that week, it will go through to the grand final on Sunday 17th July.
Fingers crossed!!
Renee 🙂
Great news. Good luck Renee
