About

A highly interactive and magical show, this story is set in a imaginary world where our main character gets spooked as he adventures and finds puppets that come to life! They journey together and discover the special talents that only they have and find out what happens when they share them with others.

Te Oro

The long-held community dream of a music and arts centre for young people in Glen Innes is here.
In this multi-purpose space, young people and the local community can come together to perform, practise and learn the arts; express their creativity and talents; and celebrate their cultures.

Jandel J & the Funky Friends

Jandel J and the Funky Friends create a mix of dance, comedic & fun-filled theatre shows for children and family. They strive to connect their audience to the endearing and heartfelt stories and journeys of the characters lovingly brought to life in the shows.

The company was founded by Justin Haiu, and is made up by a collective of Pasifika male Artists.
The performers have a mixed background of dance and drama supported by a love for singing and playful antics.

The group has performed recently in the Guerrilla Collection Festival, and in numerous Auckland Live events, including Pick & Mix, a season in the Herald Theatre and as a part of the Auckland Live Education Program. The group has also performed four shows over numerous seasons in primary schools across the Auckland region over the last 5 years.
