Happiness

There’s no business like show business — a sentiment far too familiar to acclaimed Broadway director, Charlie Summers. But after 20 years in the New York musical theatre world, he's found himself in a bit of a predicament. Now Charlie’s back in his small hometown of Taraunga, New Zealand — and he's harboring a secret that threatens to damage both his reputation and long-term career.

When Charlie learns his mom’s amateur theatre troupe is putting on a new musical number, he begrudgingly agrees to check it out. But much to his surprise, he ends up more involved in the production than he originally thought. 

TUNE IN
Tune in Sunday, December 14, at 7pm and 7:30pm. The show continues at the same time the following two Sundays, December 21 and December 28.
