2:10 Interview - theatre veteran

The theatre is in Russ Standing's blood. He first got the bug as a boy in Wimbledon London, watching pantomine. After attending art school in  Auckland and struggling to find his audience, Russ made a bold move. He left the big city for a place he calls the performing arts capital of New Zealand. Not Wellington - Hawera in South Taranaki. More than 40 years later, he's still there. His latest production is The Wizard of Oz. And when the curtain goes up in June at the Hawera Memorial theatre, it will be on a newly refurbished theatre thanks to his efforts.
