GET ready to step into a world of festive cheer and heartwarming nostalgia as Genesis Youth Theatre Group brings their Christmas show ‘Tinsel and Tales’ to the stage.

Taking place on December 18 and 19, this charming production is a journey through the magic and traditions of Christmas, filled with laughter, joy, and heartfelt moments.

Founded in Wellington in 1996, the Genesis Youth Theatre Group works to introduce young people to all aspects of the performing arts, performing hit plays, musicals and cabarets over the years.

The group re-launched in 2006, with a new and exciting programme based around staging two to three performances each year. Members have the opportunity to get involved in all aspects of staging a production including performing, marketing, lighting, sound, make-up, costume and stage management through a variety of workshops.

In the group’s newest production, the talented young cast will transport audiences through a series of sketches and songs, celebrating everything that makes Christmas the most wonderful time of the year.

From cherished traditions to those hilarious holiday moments, this show promises something for everyone.

Performances will take place on December 18 and 19 at 7.30pm at the Wellington Arts Centre.
