It’s been an absolute honour to be a guest presenter at the iTicket Showdown Awards for the last three years.

The annual Showdown Awards are held annually to celebrate Auckland’s top secondary school productions. Run by the Auckland Community Theatre Trust (ACTT) under President Claire Buckley, the aims of Showdown are to encourage young performers and foster excellence in the performing arts, to promote the performing arts as an option for tertiary study and as a career path, to raise the profile of performing arts in school and to build links between school performing arts programmes and Auckland community theatres.
