Lines and Lyrics runs twice a month, at Greerton and Tauranga library
An invitation to poets and poets-to-be.
*October's session will be held at a different location. Please email Shona and Pip for information.
Meetings are informal, but focused sessions, that can help you with your poetry, both writing and performance, by interacting with others and learning from their responses. Whatever kind of poetry you write, whoever you are writing for, you will be most welcome. Open to everyone, from beginners to experienced writers. If you are interested in joining a group that offers friendly and helpful feedback, Lines and Lyrics is for you. Basically, sessions are nominally facilitated by two established poets, Pip Sheehan and Shona-Ellen Barnett, who have many years of experience between them. However, as equals, each of us will be encouraged to contribute our own input and responses as we listen and learn together.This is a community initiative supported by Te Ao Mārama – Tauranga City Libraries and all queries and registrations should be directed to Shona Barnett or Pip Sheehan - info.linesandlyrics@gmail.com

Musical Comedy Night Performing musical comedy as The Singing Hobbit, Katrina McGuinness combines a powerhouse voice, relational humour and the sort of brutally honest storytelling that can only come from a woman with enough life experience to know better — and enough optimism to do it anyway. Sex, Marriage and Other Disasters is a mix of Stand Up Comedy, Cabaret and Musical Theatre that combines original songs, comedy, storytelling and one woman's spectacularly imperfect adventures through love, marriage, divorce, dating, parenting and menopause and everything nobody warned us would happen in between.
