💋 PORIRUA LITTLE THEATRE PRESENTS: Auditions for CHICAGO (2026)
Step through the velvet curtain, sugar. The gin’s cold, the lights are low, and the stage is burning for you. This year, Porirua Little Theatre is bringing CHICAGO to town — all jazz, sass, and scandal wrapped in sequins and smoke.
We’re calling on the bold, the daring, and the dreamers. Those who live for the rhythm, the storytelling, the connection. Whether you’ve been treading the boards for years or you’re just itching to slip into the spotlight for the first time, the stage at PLT is calling — and honey, it’s got your name on it.
